The Document and I agree. It states that "SET" is from ZERO (0) inches
to approximately 1/10" of offset. Zero set is for very hard wood.
The ground blade allows slippage. In soft woods, sticky woods with sap -
use 1/10" and that means +/- .1" so the kerf is blade width to way out
there near a 1/4"! .2 + width of the blade.

It says you have to set the set yourself by hand. It depends on the work
intended for the saw.

One could have full set and waste a lot of high quality and expensive
wood or have it as small as possible. This saw has a taper ground blade
which allows for zero or almost zero for exotic wood.

Doesn't say what set value in the display.
The documents say set is from zero to .1". Zero is set just not much.

The point is its set, something you stated ripsaws do not have.

Product Information:
The taper ground blade on this 26" Lynx rip handsaw provides
friction-free cutting, and the hollowing of the back reduces weight,
improving balance and letting the saw tip start a cut in confined areas.
Each Lynx saw is individually produced by a craftsman who ensures that
you get a reliable tool that holds a sharp cutting edge, and will not
fail under constant hard use. Setting and grinding of the teeth is done
by hand so that proper tooth geometry is maintained for the best cutting
action. Handles are carefully crafted and fitted to blades with solid
brass mounting bolts.
