I finally been able to have fun with hand saws, mainly dovetail and carcass saws.
 
I am building a small entertainment center for my sister and doing dovetail joints all by hand.  Now that all the joints are half done, I have had enough practice to state a few things. 

Never to fight the saw and what a marvellous job this does when you realize this. Just need to start the cut properly and the tool will do the rest of the job.  Period. All modern good saw will typically behave this way
 
I have tried a few saws and adopted the Lie-Nielsen saws, mainly for the grip/handle.  I had the chance to try other saws and found the grip not as a good fit as the Lie-Nielsen ones.  Not to say that other saws don't do a good job, but for my hands, it sees a better fit.

Quick updates : I also have the chance to try Bad Axe Toolworks saws and their handle options are really great.

I believe that regardless of the cutting part of the saw, the handle is pretty important to have a good fit, otherwise, you will not use the particular saw…
