What Is a Japanese Pull Saw?
Japanese saws cut wood with pulling force, not pushing force. It can cut accurately with less effort.

Easy to Change
The blade should be replaced when it is difficult to cut or when the cross section has become rough.
The point of using a Japanese saw is to "cut with pulling force". Instead of pushing hard to cut, apply a light force when pulling and relax when pushing, so that you can cut smoothly without getting tired even after long hours of use. Feel and enjoy SUIZAN's authentic Japanese saws.

Handle had defect. Took a while to get support but eventually they fixed everything which is appreciated. They obviously stand behind their products but customer service must be swamped.

This is the second of these saws for me. Now I have one in each of my two workshops. I also have replacement blades for each.The saw "flat out" works. It's very sharp and the cut is incredibly fine; a breeze to sand to perfection.I highly recommend this saw and this blade for fine woodworking although it will also make a quick cut in a 2 x 4 in a pinch.

It’s an indispensable tool for handmade dovetails, but the blade is extremely delicate. It lost two teeth in the first project, which was only walnut. I’ve already bought a replacement blade, I’d recommend ordering one with the saw.

The saw is very sharp and a pleasure to use. I need to work on being more precise with my cuts. It produces a very accurate cut.

Permite un corte preciso y rápido. Su hoja es muy delgada, por lo cual reduce mucho el material que se pierde al hacer los cortes.La costilla ayuda a hacer cortes más derechos

As you might expect, this saw cuts very slowly and very precisely. I have a very high quality Spear and Jackson tenon saw, and was struggling to get really good results with Kumiko, especially with strips thinner than 2mm. With this saw I was able to get excellent results even with 1mm thick Kumiko strips.Note that the deepest cut you can make with this saw is about 40mm. If you want to use the whole blade, then the maximum cutting depth is 32mm (1-1/4").

This is my second one and I'm still very happy I got it again.It cuts beautifully and it's easy to follow the line or score marks.It's easy to use but you'll need to practice like anything else.I don't know if this is a good price because I didn't compare to other similar saws. I purchased it because i was very happy with my first one.

Fantastic saw. This was my first pull saw. I think I like it. The nature of this kind of saw is that you're working with finer, probably smaller, more delicate sizes & cuts. Not a whole lot of need to capitalize on the efficiency of a pull rather than a push. That's just my observation, and isn't meant as a negative.Simple, basic construction - nothing fancy but nicely-enough made and light & well balanced, this saw cuts THE thinnest line/kerf I've ever seen! Almost no wastage, so you can utilize about 99.9% of the length (or width) of your piece of wood. The cut produces a smoothly finished surface, and - depending on your skill and the use of the wood - will need very little sanding or other surface remediation.On the whole: Wow! It's impressive!

I really enjoy using Japanese saws for woodworking. These saws cut on the pull stroke and not on the push stroke as most "western" saws do, so the blade can be thinner. With a little practice, I can cut dovetails and other hand-made joints faster and more accurately.This particular saw cuts fast and works well, particularly for small, precise work like dovetails in thinner stock or cutting kumiko (thin wood strips used in Shoji screens).One downside to Japanese saws is that it is not practical to resharpen the blade. The teeth are complex and small. The good news, it that you can purchase replacement blades at a reasonable cost.I found out the hard way that the teeth on this particular saw are somewhat fragile. I was cutting dovetails in 5/8" thick white oak and noticed the saw jamming in the saw kerf. I took a look at the blade and found I had about an inch-long gap of missing teeth. Now, I use a heavier saw for this type of application, and I keep an extra blade on hand.

I purchased this saw specifically for hand cutting dovetail joints in exotic hardwoods as thin as 1/4". The ultra thin blade allow for extremely narrow pins and tails leaving no doubt the dovetails were hand cut. The sharpness of the teeth leaves a very smooth finish on the cuts. Mastering the use of a Japanese pull saw does take time and patience. However, the final result is well worth the effort. If you use too much pressure you will mostly likely break teeth on this type of saw. After many dozens of dovetails, I have not broken a single tooth on this saw and should you have a few broken teeth the saw will continue to perform admirably well. Magnetic blade guides are extremely helpful for keeping the blade properly aligned when cutting. In my opinion, this saw is far superior to a western style dovetail saw. Replacement blades are very reasonably priced making it cost effective to simply replace a blade rather than attempt to sharpen it when it eventually becomes dull. If you demand precision cuts, this saw is an excellent choice.
