Hi Shim,
Buy Frank Klauz's DVD, on Hand Tools. He is darn good, but he isn't 'precious'. In the DVD, he demonstrates a great way to sharpen your own saw. He has a rich Hungarian accent, but that's part of the fun.
Just realised you said tenon saw in your post title. So the DVD is ideal. Remember sharpen it as a cross cut for cutting shoulders or small sections across grain.
For tenons and dovetails, you'll need the saw sharpened as a rip saw. I wonder if this is the problem with yours, since it was sharpened? So, in all you need more than one tenon saw...
HTH
Regards
John

Very true Tusses,
I've owned the video for some years now and I never tire of watching it. In fact I just ordered the DVD from Taunton in the USA. Not arrived yet mind!
No matter how many times I watch Klausz's stuff, I find things I missed or had forgotten about! It's also the quickest way I know to make a utility drawer. For a 4" (100 mm) depth drawer, I can have it done and glued, in the time it would take to set up a dovetail jig!

I've not seen the whole Klaus DVD, just the clip on the Taunton site. Watching him cut dovetail pins made my jaw drop. He doesn't mess about!
