I have a Leatherman Wave multitool. I’ve discovered that the saw blade is excellent for cutting plastic laminate flooring in-place when I’m making repairs. Does anyone know of a stand-alone saw with the same type of blade?

The "Shark Saw" about $13 at the big box has a very similar tooth profile. There is a substantial spear point designed to ease penetration into drywall that may get in the way but this should be easy enough to remove by gently grinding, beware overheating and drawing the temper.
I was leery about spending $13 for what amounts to a simple drywall saw with fancy teeth. Narrow profiles tend to wear quickly cutting drywall but this saw has done well. Not sure how it would stand up to sand plaster but it surprised me a little.
Cuts well and the handle fits the hand well. My only complaint is that the handle is less compact than the simple round profile wood one and the complicated tooth profile isn't one I could file easily. Unlike the Cheaper Stanley model, about $8, which can be sharpened even after extensive wear caused by using it in sand plaster by simply using a three-square file.
