Introducing the Bad Axe 12" Stiletto Dovetail Saw—a game-changing tool designed for serious dovetailing tasks. Precision-crafted and performance-driven, this saw delivers exceptional accuracy, making it a contender for the only dovetail saw you'll ever need.
The Stiletto’s extended two-inch throw provides increased reach and control, allowing for longer, more precise cuts with fewer strokes. Its lightweight, perfectly balanced design enhances maneuverability, while the hammer-set tooth line bites effortlessly into the wood—offering a tactile response akin to a serrated razor slicing with precision.
Built for versatility, the Stiletto excels at cutting dovetails up to 8/4 combined thickness, crafting sliding dovetails, and making efficient, clean cuts in ¾” stock. It also performs exceptionally well for ripping smaller tenon cheeks in thin stock, making it a powerhouse for fine joinery work.
At its core, the Stiletto is engineered for performance—featuring a 12" open-handled design, an ultra-thin .018" plate, and just enough clearance below the back to optimize accuracy and efficiency. Its longer tooth line and featherlight construction reduce deviation, ensuring crisp, controlled cuts every time.
Taking inspiration from the legendary V-42 Stiletto, a WWII-era fighting knife used by the joint U.S./Canadian 1st Special Service Force (The Devil’s Brigade), this saw embodies the same principles of precision, power, and purpose. Just as the V-42 was designed to pierce the toughest barriers with ease, the Stiletto Dovetail Saw is built to cut with confidence—becoming an indispensable tool in your woodworking arsenal.
