Thomas Flinn & Co. is Britain’s last traditional sawmaker, producing Pax and Lynx saws by hand in Sheffield. Using high grade steel and carefully shaped beech or walnut handles, Thomas Flinn saws deliver clean cuts and timeless craftsmanship for woodworkers who value heritage tools.
Thomas Flinn & Co Ltd is the only traditional saw and hand‑plane manufacturer remaining in the UK, based in Sheffield since 1923. Their tools—crafted under legacy brands like PAX (est. 1776), Lynx (Garlick Saw Company, est. 1858), and Dorchester—carry forward centuries‑old handwork and precision, with each saw made individually to order by skilled artisans
The company produces premium hand saws (handsaws, tenon, dovetail, crosscut, musical, forest and pad saws), and Clifton hand planes (bench, block, shoulder, spokeshave) acquired in 2014. Their tool range also includes traditional woodworking accessories such as scrapers, burnishers, files, and marking tools
Yes. Made in Sheffield from top-grade steel and hardwood handles, their saws and planes are meant to last a lifetime. The premium models, especially in the Pax 1776 line, are fully re-sharpenable and serviceable, and benefit from occasional hand-honing and oiling—preserving their precision and longevity
