I do a lot of furniture restoration, and amateur woodworking.  I have wanted one of these saws for quite some time and finally searched for one on Amazon.  The price was very good, and since making the purchase, I have had numerous opportunities to use it.  I have been very pleased.  The saw has a course tooth side and a fine tooth side.  I generally use the finer teeth since it is easier to pull the saw, and you get a finer cut.  The blade is replaceable, but even after a lot of use, I haven't noticed any difference in the speed of the cutting.  Just a good saw.
