IVY Classic 11114 14" Miter Back Saw, Hardwood Handle

The IVY Classic 11114 Miter Back Saw is a dedicated hand tool designed for clean, precise woodwork when paired with a miter box. Built with a classic hardwood handle and a rigid spine, it helps woodworkers and DIYers produce straight, controlled cuts across both soft and hard woods.

At the core of this saw is a 14-inch alloy-steel blade treated with electro-oil impulse hardening and tempering. The Swift Cut tooth design utilizes precision-ground, tri-edge teeth with 12 points per inch that cut on both the push and pull strokes. This configuration allows the tool to cut 50 percent faster than conventional hand saws while maintaining accurate tracking.

Accuracy is further supported by the reinforced steel back, which prevents the thin blade from bending or wandering during a cut. With a maximum cutting depth of 3-3/8 inches, it provides enough clearance for standard trim and moulding tasks. A reusable plastic blade guard is included to keep the cutting edge covered when stored.

Keep in mind that the reinforced back limits your overall cut depth strictly to 3-3/8 inches, making it unsuitable for deeper timber or large boards. Additionally, while it is designed specifically for use alongside a miter box, the box itself must be supplied separately.

Verdict: The IVY Classic 11114 Miter Back Saw is an excellent choice for anyone needing fast, straight cuts in soft or hard wood trim. Its dual-action teeth and rigid steel back deliver reliable accuracy for dedicated miter box woodworking.
