Left-handed saws

allenf3 | Posted in Tools for Home Building on

I am looking for a good framing saw for a south-paw. I do like worm-drive saws but the contortions to see the blade and cut are a pain. Is there a worm-drive out there with the blade on the right.

    If you find one let me know! 

    I saw a picture of a Makita worm drive with the blade on the  right in FH. , but danged if I can find one. Could'nt even find it on their website.

    I worked on a job in 1974 where we had one but have not seen any since.
