Eye,
Nice name by the way! Hope it grows on ya!
I've only come across rip saws cheap on the yard sale tables,, fortunatly, the local guy who sharpens our stuff is happy to sharpen and kerf, cheap. Lee valley sells rip saws for a hundred bucks or so. I prefer a toothy japanese rip saw, but truth be known,, I do mostly bread boarding with my circular saw, and clean up with a good chisel.
You can't go wrong with a good hard point saw. They aren't sharpenable,, but for 20 bucks they stay good for a long time!
