This saw is extremely dull. I knew I was taking a chance buying this saw and I regret it. I should have spent $60 for a decent saw instead of bargain shopping.

This saw is poorly made. At first I thought the problem was my lack of skill and experience. But every time I used it I couldn't get it to cut straight. I refiled the teeth, and it works slightly better.

Then I read a post by Paul Sellers. He called out the manufacturer for producing junk and calling it "professional quality." I wish I had seen that in time to return this saw. Or better yet, I wish I had never bought it in the first place.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS SAW!

This is a decent very inexpensive dove tail saw. It arrived with a small kink in the saw, which I was quite disappointed with. It is possible that the kink was caused during shipping since there was minimal protection. The saw arrived a bit dull and but after sharpening it cuts rather well. If you are needing to use a dovetail saw a lot then I would recommend spending the extra money to get a better quality saw, however if you plan on using it occasionally this one will do just fine.

This is a comparison of (1) the Crown 10" Gents saw and (2) the Two Cherries 10" Brass Back Dovetail saw, both around $25. In particular this compares the unboxing experience, not the actual use of them. See photos.

Both share these features in common:
- Wooden handle
- Blade length is 10".
- Spine is folded brass.

Crown:
- Has an outer protective bubble wrap the full length.
- Packaged in a vinyl sleeve.
- Handle is a bulbous and easier to grip.
- Handle length is 4.75"
- Handle angle is straight with the blade (not twisted to left nor right). But the handle is not straight in line with the blade when held perpendicular in the cutting position. See in the photo that the handle angles upwards when in hand.
- Spine is slightly bowed sideways but probably easy to straighten.
- Blade has a slight bend, likely due to manufacturing. Expecting it can be easily straightened.
- Blade does not have any sort of reusable protective cover.
- Blade height is 1 5/8".
- 17 or 18 teeth per inch (advertised at 17).
- Teeth are all set properly.
- Rip cut.
- Very thin kerf (roughly half the thickness of Two Cherries).
- No hole in the blade to hang on a hook.

Two Cherries:
- Packaged as a product from the Robert Larson Company.
- Packaged with no outer protection in a flimsy vinyl sleeve.
- Handle not bulbous.
- Handle length is 4".
- Handle angle is straight with the blade (not twisted to left nor right). Handle is straight in line with the blade when held perpendicular.
- Spine is dead straight.
- Blade has a reusable thin plastic cover.
- Blade has several bends, in a slight "S" curve, likely from the manufacturing. Not expecting it can be easily straightened.
- Blade height is 1 13/16".
- 14 or 15 teeth per inch (advertised at 15).
- Cross cut.
- Thick kerf (roughly twice the thickness of Crown).
- At least 2 teeth are bent and will need to be re-set.
- Has a hole in the blade to hang on a hook.

Verdict:
Tie; both suffer in different ways and both have slight advantages. I wished the pros of each saw could come together into a decent $25ish saw. Returning the Two Cherries immediately. Going to give the Crown saw an opportunity to prove itself as an acceptable contender for dovetail work. Hoping this review helps you.

Its alright but needs sharpened with a tiny file. The handle to blade connection feels weak so don't count on this saw lasting on a job site.
