My Recommendations
Unlike the planes and chisels, a higher price doesn’t necessarily mean a better saw. A prime example of this is Japanese saws which are usually quite affordable and perfect for beginners. I personally prefer using a wester push saw simply because it’s what I trained with. But I would encourage you to try both and see that you prefer.Unlike the planes and chisels, a higher price doesn’t necessarily mean a better saw.
