SUIZAN Kataba Japanese Hand Saw

Product detailed description

Japanese saws (also called nokogiri) are a type of hand saw that cut on the pull‑stroke, unlike European saws that cut on the push stroke.

Why should you get a Japanese saw?

Japanese saws (also called nokogiri) are a type of hand saw that cut on the pull‑stroke allowing it to feature much thinner blades than European saws. Belonging to centuries-old tradition of woodworking, Japanese saws have been refined to perfection to provide an outstanding experience when cutting wood. Having a thinner blade means less material needs to be removed, therefore they require less energy for cutting resulting in less wear and leave only a clean, satisfyingly thin kerf in the wood.
