Backsaws typically come unsharpened. They're not especially difficult to
keep sharp, but I don't find them worth the trouble. I use pre-sharpened,
disposable Japanese pull saws instead. One for one, the sharper, finer
saw gives the faster and cleaner cut. It's tough to beat the cheap ryobas
and dozukis. My most favorite saw for joinery is a moderately priced rip
dozuki.



I've never seen a new back saw, or any new saw for that matter, that was
sold unsharpened. Can you cite an example?
