Shark has a great design concept that is not common to many Japanese saws - the blades are easily removed for compact storage or replacement. Push the red button and pull it out, push the red button and push it in until it clicks. There is also a plastic blade guard included that will keep the teeth from being damaged.

I am so pleased with this and the other shark saw and prybar combo I bought, that I will slowly replace all my handsaws with shark equivalents.

Killer Shark  Jun 28, 2000
By big old daddy
Great little saw! Cuts like crazy and leaves a smooth end. Thinnest kerf you can find anywhere, and it makes a big difference when you need it.

I just finished a trim job with a bunch of oddball angles that required hand-sawing. This little saw saved my life!

Excellent Trim Saw  Jun 27, 2000
By Don Parente
This is one of the finest trim saws I have ever used. It has a very thin kerf and is very accurate. It cuts on the pull stroke which takes a little getting used to, but once you do I found this saw much easier to use and to start a cut. Everyone that has borrowed my saw says that they have to get one for themselves. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this saw.

They're all 10 stars.  Nov 21, 2008
By Dick Johnson
Shark 10-2410 Fine-Cut 19 Point Finish Saw - I like this one for miter box cuts on thin stuff, but that's probably only because I'm used to a back saw. Their 10-2210 is really better for that, but ..... This does very nice work with trim. The description above says 17tpi while the product name says 19tpi. The blade itself says 19tpi.

These saws are: 1. sharp; 2. affordable; 3. easy to use (after a short learning curve).
These saws: 1. cut a thin kerf; 5. are very sharp; 6. allow you to do precision cutting.
And: they are very, very sharp (keep bandages with them - even though you've been warned - you'll have to find out for yourself).

I have moved ALL of my other hand saws to the back of the shop. These are a joy to use. I want to have each type (and have probably bought more than I have a need for). You will have to make a new miter box because these blades are too thin for any you have.

Some tips: 1. Don't pitch them in your toolbox or truck bed. These are precision tools and though they are quite strong, they are easily damaged. Use the blade guards that come with them. 2. Don't try to "muscle" them through a board. The old adage of "let the tool do the work" has never been truer. 3. Don't place the blade edge anywhere you don't want a mark left. I think I mentioned that they're very, very, very sharp.

(Since I don't know which review you might see first, I have left the same general review for each of these I own and added any specific thoughts for the individual saws.)

A keeper!  Apr 19, 2012
By Rodger Manecke "Woodworking novice"
Of three hand saws I've bought over the years for woodworking projects, this is the best by far for precise cuts and ease of use.
