What type of hand saw to use?

samedi 20 septembre 2014

This is in relation to my first thread.



Some of the knife scale blocks that I purchased are 10-12mm thick (Length = 140mm and Width = 45mm).



Since I only need a 4mm thick blank, I would like to cut the original thicker block into two.



I need to cut within the grain, if I read correctly, I need a Rip-type saw.



My question, what brand is better (I can only go to Bunnings and Masters and Mitre 10)? I saw some saw with TPIs, what tpi do I need?

Also, I saw a Tajima Japan Pullsaw at Masters, is this ok to use even though the packaging says it is a cross-cut saw? I need it to be relatively small kerf width as I can't afford for the saw to eat to much of the wood.



Thanks again. Sorry for the newbie questions! I'm learning a lot though. :)
