A Kid's Review
Bought one of these as an all-purpose "indoor" DIY saw. (I also have the Predator X and the Predator Toolbox saws). The special triple-ground teeth on Predator Triplefast, coupled with 10 teeth per inch, mean it's very sharp indeed (watch your fingers), very fast in use and cuts on both forward and back strokes. The handle is very comfortable and the blade doesn't flex too much either (though it does seem to flex rather more than the Predator X). Gives a finer cut than the Predator X, and saws more quickly than the Predator Toolbox. It's supposed to deal more effectively with knotty wood, because of the triple-ground teeth, but I haven't noticed much difference on such timber compared with the Predator X. All in all, an excellent product in my opinion, another "winner" from Spear & Jackson. Buy British!

Pros: it's a Predator = very sharp, easy to use, cuts fast, cuts on both forward and back strokes, cuts very cleanly. Comfortable handle. Blade doesn't flex too much (though more than my Predator X saw). Stays sharp in use too. Cleans away sawdust very effectively. A British product - made in Sheffield.
Cons: not really suitable for heavy sawing or for large logs (use a Predator X saw instead for that work). Watch your fingers! - it's VERY sharp indeed.
Verdict: top class product, good value for money.

Great saw - cuts quickly and very cleanly. Wish I had bought one before. Flexibility in blade might be an issue if not careful with saw.

Very sharp, comfortable to work with, I cannot compare with others, but this is just good to cut even very chunky pieces of wood.

I bought this for my husband as we are extending and revamping our house. He said "That saw cuts through anything like butter", he even trimmed a hardwood door completely straight. I would buy this again as he has been so happy with it.

Honestly, it cuts much more quickly than i'd expected. great quality for the money.
after i took it out of the box i introduced it straight to a nasty strip of mdf. it gave an extremely fine, splinter-free cut. and of course, it performed even better crosscutting a piece of pinewood (havent tried it on hardwood though, but i presume it'd cut hardwood like butter too).
the saw is light but still has enough weight to help you keep the cut perpendicular to the piece (or more precisely, to the ground).
it not that easy to start the cut with this saw. when i pulled it to score a line on the workpiece, the triple-ground teeth unsettled the saw quite a bit. so be sure to mark and score your cut with a knife, not with just a pencil.this is a problem with most other modern factory-made triple-ground-toothed handsaws too, so no matter what you buy you're not gonna get away with it.
The only letdown is the logo being "printed" onto the saw, not etched into it, so the logo sits a little proud of the surface of the side of the saw. Clearly,this causes some extra friction and unsettles the saw a little bit (but really, by just a hair) when the logo goes past the surface of the cut.
finally, keep in mind that this saw isnt suited for rip cutting. i tried it, and it did cut, but not nearly as quickly as any dovetail saw or ripsaw.
in conclusion, you cant really go wrong with this saw (or any other saws from the same manufacturer). it's exactly what a beginning woodworker or diyer needs. I would have given it a 5 if it wasnt for the "printed" logo.

Spear & Jackson hand saw.
Excellent hand saw. Special teeth arrangement ensures that it cuts speedily. Not much else one can say about a hand saw. Does the job.

Great Saw
Great quick action saw
Correctly packaged which preserved the blade
Bit of oil on the blade after every use will keep this one good for years
