I'm looking for a saw similar to a drywall saw - cuts on the push
stroke and is stiff and pointy - but has nice sharp teeth and a
somewhat thinner kerf say than your typical 4-6 tpi drywall saw.
Thank you very much. Oh yeah - does anyone know what this thing
"gewgull" is that everyones' talking about?

You can hammer the drywall saw's off-set teeth so they aint off-set no
more.:-)
Perhaps if you say what you intend to do with it you might find an
alternative tool.

We would call that a Pad Saw but you are right it is hard to find good
replacement blades for them. I have once or twice put a jigsaw blade in the
Pad Saw handle when I needed a sharp or finer cut.

If it's absolutely gotta be a push stroke you may be out of luck finding
an off-the-shelf solution. A Bosch T101BR jigsaw blade has 10 tpi, is
.06" thick, and has reverse teeth so it cuts on the push stroke. You
can with a little work shoehorn a Bosch blade into an X-Acto Number 5
knife handle.
Not the most elegant thing in the world but it works.

Ain't gonna happen. Japanese saws cut on the pull, which allows the
blade to be much thinner. You need a thicker blade to cut on the
push. Pick stiff or thin.

I have one like that - older naturally - but the blade bunches up
when you push it. Light strokes on push or stronger ones on the pull.
With it you flip over - end to end the blade.

Woops, sorry; that one cuts on the pull stroke.

Right. Let him try making a point on a hacksaw blade and using one of
the holder handles. Then he can see how nice pull saws can be by
simply reversing the blade. http://fwd4.me/TUP one style.
