Restore a classic backsaw or add an authentic piece to your collection with this antique dovetail saw handle. Commonly referred to as a saw tote, these wooden handles were crafted to provide a comfortable, secure grip for fine woodworking saws used in cabinetmaking, furniture building, and precision joinery.

Traditional saw handles were carefully shaped to fit the user’s hand, offering excellent control for delicate cuts such as dovetails, tenons, and other fine joinery. Today, original antique saw handles are sought after by restorers, collectors, and woodworkers looking to preserve historic hand tools.

Overall in pretty good shape for a replacement. Would fit 1/2” diameter hardware.
