The saw blades that cut the best are the ones that the blade thickness is less at the top than at the teeth.A lot of the early style saws had parallel sides(same thickness top and bottom) that cause the blade to bind.Although I find that saws that cut on the back stroke(pull) seem to work better for me the one on the Mountaineer is multi-directional.
