- JAPANESE STYLE PULL SAW: This product is a “Pull Saw.” Most people are used to European saws, called “push saws,” which cuts through a pushing motion.

If you haven’t tried the Samurai of woodsaws you’re missing out!Accuaracy…Hai. By pulling the blade it wants to straighten automatically, aiding accuracy. The long handle can be used two handed…Like Katana!…er’ ok no! But two handed aids line of cut. The fine crosscut teeth produce minimal to no tearout and it suppresses judder nicely..Ease of use…Hai. One does not force saw…saw teaches cut to open naturally. Um’ yeah..kinda true, the saw does the work almost without effort, in part due to that very narrow kerf. It is so sharp, I got cut just looking at it..so care is needed when starting a cut. The back of thumb knuckle touching the blade side…or thumb nail beside the teeth are old skool good methods. Once underway just be careful to keep that bendy blade straight on the unpowered return stroke. It’s rate of wood removal is prodigious. For longest life and retaining its edge treat it with some deference like the precision tool it is, do not ram it hard through ply, take the time it needs and store in a dry shrine with lit candels.Value for Yen….Hai. At over £30 GBP it is not a cheap saw, but imo it is worth every penny, and you’ll likely find using it is most gratifying for years to come. If you have no experience of the Ryoba, do get one and I bet you’ll be using it as your handsaw of choice. 👍

Good quality Japanese sawI love pull saw. It’s very good for crosscut. The blade is thin and it may flex a bit when you are sawing, so it takes a bit of time to learn how to control it. After a few practice, I find it much easier to use than normal saw.For long rip cut, it’s not the best saw though. Tthe problem is that because there are saw teeth on both sides, the other set of teeth will interfere with your cut when you are ripping through a long thick board. For tenon and dovetails, I suppose it’s better to buy a small tenon saw with a stronger spline for small precise cut, but as the first Japanese saw I bought, I’m very content.

Cuts straight & highly versatileVery happy with this saw. Purchasing a rip cut saw is tough enough these days – so having a saw with a rip AND a crosscut teeth side delivers a versatile option for a wide variety of tasks. No real criticisms per se, but the saw is slightly pricey imo, and it does take some getting used to. All in all though – I can’t think of a more versatile saw for the money? It cuts with impressive accuracy both with and across the grain. Definitely a good option for someone starting out and removes the need for 2/3 separate saw purchases.

Two for oneThis is a quality saw. It has two sides: One for cross grain and the other along the grain cutting using a pull motion rather than a push. Can be extremely accurate when used properly such as using the full length of the saw blade on each pull. No force required as the saw is very sharp. I found it easy to use and accurate after a bit of practice

Accurate and thin cuts, without weatingOn average I get better cuts than with a push saw. Easier to control the force and the blade naturally straightens when pulled an can be thinner which also offer less resistance. I’ve cut plywood and mdf from 5.5 to 18mm so far, using a piece of planed timber clamped on the piece as guide and gently pushing the side of the blade against it while sawing.

wrap in brown paper and wd40you can really use your back muscles with this saw because it is a pull saw designed to remove material as you pull back on each cut as opposed to most european saws that are push saws, what this effectively means is less tired aching arms and much faster cutsaccuracy of a blade is all down to how you are cutting and this blade encourages you to use best practices, in fact it is best used with two hands and plenty of clampsi cut every board for our subfloor, every board for our top floor, reshaped a door and numerous other odd jobs with this saw and it has done it all with easeafter each use wrap it in brown paper and cover the blade in wd40 to prevent rust, it’ll last you for yonks
