Saws - The Pax Range

World of Woodworking | Saws - The Pax Range

The Pax brand was founded in 1776 by Thomas Sanderson, part of Sanderson Brothers & Co. Ltd. This company has a lengthy part of Sheffield history being one of the leaders in steel production and it’s by products - one of which was the Pax range of saws. The introduction of such fine saws is something we are pleased to continue today and if you are looking for a top quality saw, this is the range that will provide you with just that.

Pax saws are made to original specifications with taper ground, skew back breasted Handsaws and Tenon Saws with heavy, folded brass backs to provide the perfect tension to the blade. The Pax 1776 saw celebrates the ways that Sanderson Brothers would have originally crafted saws. This saw is considered somewhat by many of its users as a "masterpiece": a definite purchase for those who appreciate only the finest.
These saws are currently made to order, please be aware there may be a short delay despatching these during busy periods.
