The dovetail job should be tiny and tedious but doable from instructions. But the Japanese pull saw, that's a totally different beast. There are about 5 angles on each tooth, and the spacing changes along the length of the blade. I gave up and bought a new blade rather than get bogged down in sharpening it. The whole saw was about $22, and the new blade was about $20, but whatchgonnado?
