J'ai découvert ce type de scie part une connaissance japonaise étudiante en arts appliqués . J'ai été si emballée par ses qualités que j'en ai offert pour Noël à 3 bricoleurs de ma famille . D'abord surpris, c'est un outil dont ils ne pourraient plus se passer désormais car cette scie à main d'un concept très différent de nos scies occidentales les surpasse quand on recherche des coupes fines, bien droites et sans effort , avec une finition soignée. Des liteaux, des baguettes d'encadrement, du parquet etc... elle a même recoupé très proprement un plan de travail mélaminé de 3cm d'épaisseur avec une coupe parfaitement droite et sans éclats du mélaminé ce que n'aurait su faire ni une scie circulaire ni une scie sauteuse . Lame changeable sur ce modèle ( mais pas encore effectué malgré un usage non intensif mais régulier ) . Même s' iI en existe de plus belles et performantes (mais aussi plus chères) celle-ci offre déjà un excellent rapport qualité/prix à qui veut découvrir la scie japonaise sans se ruiner . Un outil indispensable loin du gadget..

Excellent pruning saw, 2 different saw tooth sizes on one tool. Stays sharp.

Great for pruning small branches and cutting specific cuts on lumber. Just make sure to keep the blade tightened with the screw knob.

Living in Hawaii, I have used Japanese pull saws for thirty plus years, Purchased a Kakuri in the same size from Amazon in Dec 2020 to replace a favorite from twenty years ago, but it surprisingly became dull too quickly. I only use these on cerdars and redwood. This Gyokucho 770-3600 is much sharper... and of better quality... and is also made in Japan. I have seen similar saws produced in China and the steel used is far inferior. Stick with true Japanese manufacturers. I highly recommend this Gyokucho saw. I also bought a 125mm flush cutting saw by Gyokucho... FYI, the price has dropped... good time to buy.

This was my 1st Japanese made saw. I learned for 3 years using Harbor Freight saws, and I have strong woodcutting skills now. They worked and I got a lot of done with those, but this is much better. Thinner blade, went through the wood better. I was surprised at how competent it was for decently thick pieces of hardwood, like 4" diameter branches that I rip cut longways. My next saw is going to be longer for that sort of thing, with bigger teeth. This one was great for small precision work, and I think that's what it's best at.

Not sure why it took me this long to discover the Japanese Ryoba saw. This saw seems to "know" where to go. I made about 30 complex cuts in an afternoon and the saw followed the marks exactly. It's extremely sharp and ends cuts so-close to the edge the the wood doesn't tear-out. Cuts are very thin so it only requires about 3 fingers on the saw to pull it through a 2x4. The blade is replaceable, so you can try other designs or replace a worn blade. I keep the saw in the original plastic packaging sleeve, this is good enough for occasional use.

I knew roughly what to expect when buying the saw. I already owned one of their dozuki saws and liked that. I needed something for some rip cuts and thought I would give this a try.Nice that the dozuki and ryoba handles are the same. I guess it means you could be cheap and just buy one handle and different blades. That would be a silly economy since you would waste time switching blades, but somehow it seems efficient.The issues I'm having are that this blade is short. Anything more than 1.5 or maybe 2 inches deep will be too thick to cut with this saw. It can also make it hard to start a cut though I find switching to the finer crosscut teeth for the first few pulls works well.That said, for ripping 0.75 thick boards, its nice and its cheap. I'll give it a try for small crosscuts as well. And, if I keep liking it and using it, I'll just buy a bigger blade.

This is hands down an excellent example of a Japanese pull saw. It cuts through wood like butter giving you perfect cuts.

Love this little saw. At first I thought that it was just too small but after using it the first time it was just right. I use it to cut smaller pieces of wood, or to start a cut for a larger saw. The teeth are typical ryoba set up, with smaller and closer set teeth near the handle and getting bigger and farther apart at the other end. Also love that it is basically two saws in one, crosscut and rip saw. And best part is that they blades are replaceable so no need to sharpen. I have used previous saw blades as scrapers, as the steel used is very good. I had thought the handle was soft and leather like, but it is actually somewhat hard plastic. But it still provides a very good grip to the saw.

This saw is a great addition to the many saws I have in the shop. It allows me to make fine and precise crosscuts and ripcuts with a very fine finish. The blade will cut through hardwoods pretty easily and efficiently. Being a Japanese saw, it cuts on the pull of the cut rather than the push. I like this for certain cuts I make on my works. The blade is very flexible, so this can be a limiting factor if you are looking for the saw to stay perfectly straight. The blades are removable in this saw so they should be replaceable.With the following miter box I have no problem achieving very straight 45 degree cuts with this saw: The dimensions of the product can be seen in the photos I uploaded.Pros:*Fine finish after cutting*Cuts efficientlyCons:*Saw blade is a bit too flexible. If you get used to it this can become a minimal factor (-1/2 a star)Additional Considerations:Remember this is a Japanese style saw. It cuts on the pull, not the push. If you want something more rigid there are similar Japanese saws with a reinforced back edge of the blade to prevent flex.Overall: 4.5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, 5 starsIf you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
