I'm looking for a saw similar to a drywall saw - cuts on the push
stroke and is stiff and pointy - but has nice sharp teeth and a
somewhat thinner kerf say than your typical 4-6 tpi drywall saw.

Thank you very much. Oh yeah - does anyone know what this thing
"gewgull" is that everyones' talking about?

Woops, sorry; that one cuts on the pull stroke.

Ain't gonna happen. Japanese saws cut on the pull, which allows the
blade to be much thinner. You need a thicker blade to cut on the
push. Pick stiff or thin.

We would call that a Pad Saw but you are right it is hard to find good
replacement blades for them. I have once or twice put a jigsaw blade in the
Pad Saw handle when I needed a sharp or finer cut.

If it's absolutely gotta be a push stroke you may be out of luck finding
an off-the-shelf solution. A Bosch T101BR jigsaw blade has 10 tpi, is
..06" thick, and has reverse teeth so it cuts on the push stroke. You
can with a little work shoehorn a Bosch blade into an X-Acto Number 5
knife handle.

Not the most elegant thing in the world but it works.

Right. Let him try making a point on a hacksaw blade and using one of
the holder handles. Then he can see how nice pull saws can be by
simply reversing the blade. http://fwd4.me/TUP one style.

You can hammer the drywall saw's off-set teeth so they aint off-set no
more.:-)
Perhaps if you say what you intend to do with it you might find an
alternative tool.

I have one like that - older naturally - but the blade bunches up
when you push it. Light strokes on push or stronger ones on the pull.

With it you flip over - end to end the blade.
