Harvey Peace Hand Saws

Peace's "Perfection" Hand Saws


Introduced between 1883 and 1884, Peace's Perfection line of saws (The P70, P68, P47, P45, P37, and P27) are easily distinguished by their "let-in" handles similar to Disston's D-8 and D-100 models. This improvement was intended to bring the user's hand "closer to the work" and by moving the saw's center of gravity. These saws also featured Peace's patented nickel-plated re inforcing plate which was designed to "stiffen the heel and strengthen the handle".
