Product Information
Full details
The Stanley Sharpcut Handsaw (1-20-367) is an ideal choice for professional carpenters and home DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-performance tool for aggressive wood cutting. Its primary benefit is the triple-ground hardened tooth design, which significantly increases cutting speed and longevity compared to standard saws. While it offers excellent versatility for various wood types, users should note that the 7 TPI configuration is optimized for fast, rougher cuts rather than fine, finish-grade joinery.

FAQs
Can I use this saw on metal?
No, this saw is specifically designed for wood and wood-based products. Using it on metal will immediately ruin the hardened teeth.
Is 7 TPI better than 10 TPI?
It depends on the task. 7 TPI is for faster, rougher cuts, whereas 10 TPI would provide a smoother finish at the expense of cutting speed.
What is the benefit of the dual-action stroke?
It allows the saw to remove material on both the push and pull motion, which makes the cutting process much faster.
How do I store the saw?
Store it in a dry place, preferably hanging it by the hole in the handle to keep the teeth away from other metal tools.
Does the blade need sharpening?
The teeth are induction-hardened, which means they stay sharp for a very long time, but they are not intended to be resharpened.
Troubleshooting
The saw blade is binding in the wood during a cut.
Ensure the blade is kept straight throughout the stroke. Binding often occurs when the cut line is not perfectly perpendicular or if the wood is beginning to pinch the blade due to internal tension.
The handle feels slightly loose.
The handle is attached via screws and a weld; check the mounting screws to ensure they are fully tightened, but do not overtighten, as this may strip the polymer handle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally fast cutting speed due to triple-ground teeth
- Sturdy handle construction with both welding and screws
- Balanced ergonomics reduce user fatigue
- Durable blade design lasts longer than traditional saws
Cons
- Not suitable for fine furniture-grade finish cuts
- The aggressive 7 TPI may cause tear-out on thin, delicate plywood
- No storage sheath included with the tool
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; the saw is ready for use out of the box. To maintain the life of your Stanley Sharpcut, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After use, remove sap and wood dust from the blade using a cloth soaked in a mild solvent or specialized tool cleaner.
- Corrosion Prevention: Lightly coat the blade with a thin layer of machine oil or a rust-inhibitor spray if storing the saw in a damp environment or humid garage.
- Storage: Hang the saw by its handle hole rather than letting it rest on its teeth. This prevents the teeth from becoming dulled or chipped against other tools in your toolbox.
- Sharpening: While the teeth are hardened for durability, they cannot be easily re-sharpened with standard files once they finally dull. Using the tool exclusively for wood will maximize the time between blade replacements.
