Saw blade

A saw blade comprising:

• an elongated body having a first end and a second end, a blade cutting edge and an opposing, toothless back edge extending from the first end to the second end, said first end being a shanking end for securing the saw blade with a saw;
• a plurality of teeth formed on said blade cutting edge, said plurality of teeth being fleam teeth, a first tooth of said plurality of teeth is immediately adjacent said second end, said first tooth being a full tooth, said first tooth being a raker tooth, said first tooth having a rake face and a relief face, said rake face and relief face intersecting one another forming a first tooth cutting edge;
• said second end defining a plunging nose, said second end including a substantially straight nose end surface extending between said relief face and said back edge, said nose end surface being on an angle of 30° to 45° at an intersection of the nose end surface and the first tooth relief surface with respect to a line defined by tips of said plurality of teeth, said nose end surface intersecting said first tooth relief surface to form an angled cutting edge having a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion, said leading edge portion forming a sharp point, an inclusion angle is formed between said first tooth relief face and said nose end surface having an angle of about 66° to 96°, said relief surface acting as a rake face so that during plunge cutting with said saw blade, said sharp point initiates cutting of a workpiece.
