A tenon saw has a rigid, solid rectangular blade about 12inches long and 3-4 inches wide, and around a 1/32 inch thick and has a reinforcing strip of metal along the top edge of the blade to keep it straight and rigid. It is used for cutting wood joints accurately, and can only cut in straight lines. A copingsaw, however has a much thinner narrow blade stretched in a frame shaped like a 'D' with the upright of the 'D' being the blade. The handle is in line with the blade. Coping saws are used for cutting round and complicated shapes out of wood (or, with a suitable blade, metal). The thin blade means that the saw is able to cut out complex shapes accurately as the saw blade can reach small corners and follow quite complex shapes. A fret saw is very similar to a coping saw except that the 'D' shaped frame is very elongated and the blade very fine and thin. This saw is used for cutting intricate decorative shapes out of thin wood. A scroll saw is a motorised fret or coping saw where the blade moves up and down through a metal table. Instead of moving the blade through the wood or metal, the wood or metal is moved round the moving blade, producing the intricate cut.

The tenon saw is for making straight fairly short cuts in wood.
A tenon saw is a short, stiff-bladed tool which is generally used when the cut needs to be straight. Typical applications would be for cutting mitre joints and tenons for mortice and tenon joints - hence the name. It is a fine-toothed rip saw and will generally cut on both the forward and backward strokes.

A tenon (also called a back saw or Jack saw) is a rigid back cutting saw used for cutting furniture joinery: tenon joints, housing dados, sliding dovetails, even box and flat finger joints. Tenon saws come in two basic varieties: rip for cutting with the grain, and crosscut for cutting across the grain.
The tenon saw is a short saw with fine teeth and a stiffener at the top of the blade .It's purpose is to make small very accurate cuts ,as in cutting tenons in a mortice and tenon joint.
Hand saws are usually in two groups: A tenon saw is a fine toothed saw for cutting across the grain of the wood, and for fine work. A rip saw is a causer toothed saw that is used to saw down the grain of the wood, and for rougher work.
A Hacksaw has a thin, flexible blade - held under tension by a screw mechanism. A tenon saw has a broad, rigid blade.

There are more teeth on most hacksaws. My tenon saw has 12 tpi, most hacksaws go from 16 to 24 to 32 tpi.
There is no definite date on that, but tenon saws have been used for at least 200 years just the way we see them now.
