Lie-Nielsen tapered crosscut saw.
Lie-Nielsen redesigned their three most popular back saws to feature a slight tapering of the blade from toe to heel. This taper gives you better control over precise cuts. When you reach the gauge line on the front of your stock, the blade is slightly above the line on the back side, which reduces the risk of sawing past your line. In addition, the taper introduces an angled approach to your stock (when holding the saw back parallel to the bench), enabling faster cuts with less effort.
The Tapered Crosscut Saw is patterned after the Lie-Nielsen Carcass Saw but with a longer blade of 14" and a thinner plate of .015". It tapers 1/4" along the length of the blade. This combination of features yields a well-balanced saw that cuts extremely fast and precisely, with excellent surface finish.

Teeth are filed crosscut, 14 ppi, set at .003" per side

Which handsaw to choose depends on the tooth pattern and the number of teeth per inch (tpi). Rip teeth cut along the grain and crosscut teeth across it. Few teeth give fast but rough cuts, and many teeth give slower, cleaner cuts.
Backsaws such as tenon saws and dovetail saws are used for precise joinery. The guide covers tooth patterns, sharpening and choosing a saw.
