Disston and Warranted Superior

Sharpen those bad boys up and cut away! I believe the Disston is a D-8. Skimming through the Disstonian site I didn’t see a D-6. Either way it will be a great saw.

I would try to date the Disston just to verify it isn’t something super old – otherwise I don’t think it is worth not using it. You can use the medallion for dating

Warranted Superior is/was Diston’s “economy” brand.

I agree. They were made to cut. CUT.

Also, you suck for scoring those at a garage sale. I only say that because it probably wasn’t far from my house. :-)

Well then I won’t tell you how much they cost Brandon cause you’ll really cry then. Thanks for the info. I’m still trying to figure out if they are old or not. It’s much harder than I thought it would be. Not a whole lot of info and they don’t quite fit the ones that I have seen on the web.
