So i got an email from the guy saying he will have the rachiotomy saws, and he said they should be available December 26th. so lets hope they are indeed the real saw we need. And castor, i was thinking the same earlier about having them custom made, my friend owns a metal work shop and am sure if i give him the specs of the blade he could make one, then i would have to see about the handle and see if it would be possible to get one of the ones off ebay with out the bump in it, taking that blade off, cutting the top part off since the blade is shorter, and actually bending that part up a bit, but my concern with those handles is if wether or not they will work as far as screwing the blade in or if that too will have to be custom made. im going to go by his shop monday to see what he can do. DP if you can get the dimensions of the blade itself that would be of great help and if this seller doens't really get the saw we want hopefully my friend and i can make some up.
