Got a brand recommendation? Whatever I consider buying will have to be

Maybe I'm missing something, look in your LV catalog.

We're talking about hand saws right? I've got a 10 tpi Pax panel saw
purchased from LV. Cutting an 8" board shows visible imperfections. Mating
two boards end to end no matter how carefully I cut does *not* produce
something that would be considered usable for flooring. I'm not clumsy using
a hand saw nor am I inexperienced. So, either there's something I don't know
about cutting boards, I'm not handling the saw properly or I'm missing
something here.

The only saw apparatus that I've seen on the LV site that might produce cuts
suitable for flooring is the mitre trimmer. It doesn't exactly say, but
viewing it online suggests to me that it's capable of 90° cuts.
