What Is a Japanese Pull Saw?
Japanese saws cut wood with pulling force, not pushing force. It can cut accurately with less effort.
About Double Edge Saw (RYOBA)
Two different blades on a saw. One is for cutting along the grain called "rip cut", and the other is for cutting across the grain, called "cross cut".
Our Brand Ambassador
"If you are a fine furniture builder, woodworker or a just DIYer, a SUIZAN saw is going to have a great place in your shop."
- Jonathan Katz-Moses
-
Smooth and Precise Cut
0.016" thin blade can cut smoothly and precisely without effort. Minimizes wood resistance.
-
Sharp and Heavy Duty
High-quality Japanese steel can provide razor-sharp cut, high durability, and wear resistance.
-
Real Technical Edge
The artisanal of METATE (making teeth) makes sharp cuts. ASARI (setting) enables smooth cuts.
-
Fits Comfortably in the Hand
Handy size and easy to use. Suitable for children to work as well. Can be stored in a small space.
-
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.

This is a fantastic little flush cut saw. It’s razor sharp, has a very thin blaze and goes through wood like a knife through butter leaving a really smooth clean cut with far less tear-out than any push type saw - even on plywood.Fabulous for joinery - obviously not for pruning large trees!

Great saw! Wish I'd known about this 20 years earlier. Super sharp and so easy to use.

This is a great saw. I use it for cutting off dowel plugs and recently it was the best solution for coping MDF crown moulding along with a grinder/flapdisk. Jigsaw blades would just gum up with the wood fibers.Many of the negative reviews are people that don't understand this is a PULL saw. They complain it bent the first time they used. it. You CANNOT bend this if you use it correctly. The force is on the pull, not the push.Second, many complain that the blade rusts. The saw says "made in Japan", so I'm thinking this is good quality steel (seems like it). It's probably good to protect it with wax or something similar. People tend to be used to stainless steel, etc., which won't rust but also won't hold its sharpness.Finally, many 1 star reviews are people complaining it isn't good on tree branches. It's not made for that use and those people should be stared at with deep contempt, while shaking your head and kicking dirt in their general direction.Overall, this saw is a pleasure to use. I've only used the less aggressive side, and can still cut through a 2x4 (accurately) in about 5 strokes.I'm probably going to buy more and give as gifts at Christmas.This sounds like a paid review, but I assure you it is not. See my other reviews.

This little saw has been a real treat to use compared to the clunky & clumsy traditional style saw I’ve used my whole life. Despite not looking like much size wise, it’s very capable and has made clean, easy work of tree pruning and DIY wood projects. Starting cuts is much easier and while my skill level doesn’t produce perfectly straight results, the “wandering” that I usually end up with is minimized with this saw. Wish I had known about these sooner!

This is a fantastic folding pull saw. Teeth are sharp and without burrs. The saw cuts cleanly and without scraping. The handle is not as comfortable as I'd prefer due to the channel on the underside where the blade folds into the handle, but is good otherwise.

I needed a smaller, lightweight saw that I can use with my arthritic hands. This is it, so easy to use and cuts are easy to control. Smooth action without having to apply a lot of pressure. Cut through 1x4 pressure treated lumber easily.

I’ve owned a number of pull saws and this is a good one. It’s firm enough that it won’t bend while cutting but still thin enough to make a nice narrow cut. I mainly use it to cutoff the last bit of wood on a bowl tenon so it’s light work but requires sharpness and a little rigidity, it’s perfect for my application.

I bought this saw several months ago thinking it was an affordable way to try out the Japanese approach to fine cut saws. I've been thoroughly impressed with the design and performance of the saw, I just wish I'd known about them decades ago.The basic concept of the pull cut saw means that since the blade is under tension when pulled through the wood, the blade can be made thinner, allowing for the thinner kerf. For me personally, the pull cut allows me to be more accurate in my cuts and the folding design means I can safely store the saw just about anywhere. Add to that, this has rip cut and cross cut edges on the same saw so it takes the place of two tools and saves storage space. If all of that isn't enough, replacement blades are available at an affordable price should the need arise (I've considered ordering one to have on hand just in case but haven't gotten around to it yet). I'd really like to get the folding Dozuki offered by Suizan but so far this Ryoba has proven more than capable of everything I've needed in a fine cut hand saw. If you're considering adding one of the Suizan saws to your collection I highly recommend this company's products, their attention to detail and product quality is second to none and their prices are very reasonable for what they deliver.

Good quality flexible steel double edged Japanese saw for trim, dovetailing and close quarter work. It’s very sharp with fine and coarse sides, it cuts well even in tough wood like walnut and maple and is a precise tool.I do site work on various projects and I need to carry this saw around with me in a well organized tool bag.The low point for me with this saw is the cheesy plastic guard that broke in a few weeks in my tool bag.If the manufacturer doesn’t want to supply a real blade guard with the saw, at least make one available for separate purchase.

This is the best addition to my worshop in years and I’m going to slowly buy the rest of the pull saws in the collection. The weight, balance and quality are excellent and the blade is unbelievably sharp with a very thin kerf.As a lefthanded guy, this is the easiest handsaw I’ve ever used. People are probably scratching their heads on that but here’s why. Right handers draw lines away from the body and lefties draw lines toward the body. I have always hated handsaws because pushing away straight, even with my right hand isn’t a natural action and I bind it because I naturally put weight on the pull. Today I made 10 perfectly accurate cuts completely effortlessly with my Suizan pull saw right out of the very nice packaging.This blade is completely worth the price for the quality. It’s also very nice looking. I so wish I would have bought one years ago.
