A Tenon Saw is the most used kind of backsaw (a saw with a piece of stiff brass or steel running along the top edge). It is a medium sized saw and originally obtained its name from its use in cutting tenons for mortise and tenon joints in woodwork. The stiff piece of metal along the top of the blade (like all backsaws) helps prevent the blade from bending during use and the added weight adds another level of control to the saw.
