Large Crosscut Saw (Kataba Nokogiri)

Another one of my large crosscut saws. Cutting edge is 430mm. I haven't finished translating the hand carved kanji. The stamped kanji is 別製白本鋼 or Special Made (or Forged) of White Steel. I think this would mean it is a custom made saw instead of a regular production piece. Handle is made of Poplar. Like all of my large kataba saws, it has a pistol grip type tang/handle.
