What is the difference between the Lie-Nielsen standard and tapered dovetail saw?

There is not a big difference between the two Lie-Nielsen dovetail saws. On the tapered dovetail saw the blade tapers slightly from toe to heel. This gives a little more control in precise cuts, since the blade is slightly above the line on the back of the work when you reach the line on the front.

If you want a Lie-Nielsen dovetail saw, the standard one works just as well for most people. Both have a brass back, a Swedish steel blade and a cherry handle.
