Handsaw advice please

Need to cut a cm from the bottom of a solid wooden door as we have had new floor coverings.

I looked at my yellow and black handled spear and jackson predator and it's a few years old and a bit tired.

And suggestions for a handsaw to do a fair job at the door, the predator wasn't a bad saw in its day

I'm a big fan of pull saws, don't really use anything else. They are available with western style handles these days although I don't see the point. You can pay a lot of money for one but this cheap one would probably last if you only use it occasionally and don't saw through any metal. The bottom of doors very often have some pins or metal in.

I have a Tajima for some small site work.

No saw recommendation would be complete without a trip to workshop heaven :-

Thanks, my daughter uses Niwaki tools in the garden and has pull saws too.

I was thinking about something a bit more general purpose that if push comes to shove (excuse the pun) I could use on things like plastic drain pipes as well lol
