One of my most painfully embarrassing moments was my haste in making a cut some forty-five years ago with my grandfather’s Henry Disston cross cut handsaw. I caused a kink in the blade. Can this be repaired? Everytime I look at it and want to use it I kick myself over again. I love the thin kerf of this saw and really want to use it. I would very much appreciate your advice. Grand Dad was a master furniture craftsman – in comparison to him I simply make smaller pieces of wood out of larger ones… Thank you all. Reverend Wayne

Can this be repaired? Perhaps
I suggest contacting one or more current saw makers to see if they offer repair service. Lie Nielsen (http://www.lie-nielsen.com/) would be a place to start. They may need to inspect the saw to determine if the kink can be removed.
