That actually a HF-special.The brass-backed back saws I bought new from Lie-Nielsen, as are the 2 bench planes. Maybe 10 years ago but I haven't used them much in the last 7 years, just getting back into the craft. They are still in production: <a href="https://www.lie-nielsen.com/" target="_blank">https://www.lie-nielsen.com/</a> I do have a tote in my attic with older planes I bought, cleaned up and sharpened up, as well as some really old panel saws, Disstons and such. I don't remember how old those are, but I want to say pre-WW2 for sure. I sharpened them and they are actually usable for crosscutting and ripping. You used to be able to buy these older tools for cheap. Then folks started buying them up, hoarding them and collecting and re-selling, and prices have gone thru the roof! SMH</blockquote>
