I have been on the hunt for some time now for a aggressive rip tooth hand saw and a decent tenon saw. I'm looking for a more aggressive TPI on the rip saw, around 4-6 and on the longer side, and any tenon saw would do. If anyone has any suggestions beyond antique malls and flea markets, trying to stay in as much as I can recently, that would be helpful. Doesn't have to be pretty or ready to use, just good enough condition to bring it back to life.
I'm currently using a pull saw for my rip cuts, but that is getting too laborious. It starts off with a fine cut at 10 TPI then finishes our with 7 TPI and I am finding that the thin blade is great for the kerf but likes to travel a bit in some of the more unforgiving grain patterns. I don't need a decent surface because I'll end up planning it anyway.
Let me know if anyone has suggestions or if there is any advice those of which have had good success in the hunt.
