For years I have used an Eberle blue blade 22tpi back saw for all my dovetails. When the teeth wear our I pitch it and buy another, $12. But now I can’t find them in any stores. Are they no longer made? Does anybody know whewre I can buy one?

I used the same ones as well - have 6 that I keep for classes now. Woodcraft stopped carrying them about 2 years ago - they told me they weren't being made anymore. They were a great saw for the 11 or 12.99 for sure.
Try Luthiers Mercantile - I got one there (for cutting fret slots) that was identical to the red-handled ones, just with a nicer handle. Years ago, but worth a look. I cut a zillion dovetails with it, and it is nowhere near worn out though. I ground the excess set off each side with a stone, and to this day it cuts as well or better than my Lie-Neilsen....
