Crown 187 8-Inch Gents Saw Woodworking Tool

The Crown 187 Gents Saw is a traditional fine-cutting hand saw built for the kind of precise, controlled work that power tools and larger saws simply cannot replicate. The 8-inch (203mm) blade is made from high carbon steel with 17 teeth per inch, producing a narrow kerf and smooth cut surface that requires minimal cleanup. Unlike many modern saws with hardened disposable blades, the Crown 187's blade is designed to be resharpened, making it a long-term workshop investment for woodworkers who maintain their tools.

The brass back serves a dual purpose — it stiffens the thin blade to prevent flexing during cuts and adds enough weight to let the saw do much of the work through gravity alone. The turned rosewood handle is both functional and attractive, offering a comfortable closed grip that gives the user fine control over stroke direction and pressure. This saw excels at cutting dovetails, small tenons, miters in trim work, and other tasks where accuracy is paramount. At just 1 pound in total weight, it is light enough for extended use without fatigue, making it a staple in any hand-tool woodworking kit.
