Hi
I got this Sandvik saw from my father in law, and he got it from his father in law (a carpenter). I guess it could be 60-70 years old, but I don’t know. It could be purchased in Switzerland or perhaps in Denmark, but again I don’t know.
It’s in good shape all the teeth are there, the handle is OK and rock solid. I would like all information you could provide and would like to know if it represent any value if it was put on EBay.
Thanks for all help and info.

ole,
what i do not know about old saws far exceeds what i do. however, that saw looks to be in original and very good condition. i have a few sandvik tools and they are well made. can you say why you want to sell it? it has family heirloom value, according to you post.
i'm just curious. it is a beautiful old tool.

Hi !
Thanks for your reply.
The main reason why I'm considering to sell it is that I don't do that much woodworking anymore (problem with my legs). So if someone could/would use it and take good care of it deserves to cut wood :-)
Could it even bring me a little money I wouldn't complain.

Ole,
I'd offer to buy it but the shipping would be prohibitive! I'm sure someone in your area will give it a good home. It looks like a very sweet saw!

Mackwood, thanks for the offer.
Yes shipping is expensive approximately 56$ to ship from me to the USA...
But do you have any idea what a saw like this would sell for, if sold in your local area ?? I don't know if it close 20$ or 200$ so if you, or someone else, know what things like this sell for I would appreciate your info..
BRGD's, Ole

Ole,
I would recommend you do your research before you sell it. As another has said, they do go suprising low at times. I know next to nothing about the value of collectible saws, even less about the Sandvik brand. That said, there are those particular ones that are very rare and expensive.
Best of luck; hope it brings a good price!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but used saw prices are pretty low. I got a similar Sandvik in a auction lot of about half a dozen saws (I wasn't after the Sandvik). Paid about $40 American for the lot.
Hi Tony
It's OK, not bad news, realism is good :-)
I only tried to find out if it had any value and if you paid 40$ for a lot of similar saws I now know that is nothing special, but a few dollars.
Ple:
Unless there are Sandvik collectors out there, the value given for even a saw as nice as this might be surprisingly low.

Ole - Your saw will have the most value in its country of origin (Sweden). While Sandvik tools are well-regarded in the US, especially the older ones, it has little collector's value here. I'm guessing you'd get $20-$40 for it on US e-bay. I've really no idea of whether there's a decently sized community of collectors in Sweden, but that will affect the value heavily.
