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".

-
Sharp and Heavy Duty
High-quality Japanese steel can provide razor-sharp cut, high durability, and wear resistance.

The artisanal of METATE (making teeth) makes sharp cuts. ASARI (setting) enables smooth cuts.

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 an outstanding handsaw, thin, double sided with one a fine toothed edge, that cuts on the pull rather than the push and is controllable. Made in Japan of fine steel, a professional grade saw. Accept nothing from China due to poor steel and production methods. You get what you pay for.

I bought to trim tree branches after seeing a video of someone using it to prune their trees. I tried it on a maple tree in my yard and it worked great to cut off a branch too big for pruners. It was very sharp and made clean smooth cuts . It was easy to use for this purpose and easier for me at 60 yrs old than using a chainsaw. I recommend it if you need to cut up branches and would buy it again. Now I need to get replacement blades so I will always be able to use it. It came quickly and was packaged to prevent damage.

This saw is perfect for pull sawing fine woodworking pieces. I can't think of anything I would improve! Love it love it love it. Everyone who picks it up seems to act like they're going to murder someone though. Too many gory movies... : )

I purchased this blade for an unconventional use - I wanted to cut a 10" diameter roll of HDPE plastic sheet (1mm thick), but have the smallest kerf possible. A Japanese pull saw fits the bill, and this one had great reviews so I bought it. While it was a lot of physical effort due to the non-standard use, it did a superb job and stood up to the stress I gave it (including many flexings due to binding as the roll shifted) and looks as good as new. Teeth still sharp and ready for the next task.

Finding out about these saws has been the best thing for my woodwork journey. They cut through wood like butter and I can even use my off hand with minimal effort. After using these saws I made the choice to do all my woodwork by hand. I have bought two of them already (one as a spare) Great product!

This saw works well. Not as sharp as my older Razor saws buy still did a good job. Some less expensive brands of saw do not seem to the set in the teeth and dull quickly loading me to believe they were either lower carbon steel or improperly heat treated. This seems to be better than the couple saws bought earlier that were not fast cutters. The saw bounced instead of smooth even cuts. This saw felt a little dull but did cut nice and straight with just a little more effort than I remember.

It is the best Japanese pull saw that one could have in their workshop although the price seems on a higher side but once you start using you wont regret it. I personally loved this saw everything is great rip cut cross cut and above all the finish of the cut is just fine.

So, these Japanese (or knockoffs of Japanese - that's a switch) saws are all over the internet, but for good reason - they work well. This is not the most expensive Japanese saw of this type that you can buy (not by a long shot), but if you're woodworking isn't making you enough money to buy the most expensive Japanese saws and still afford to buy lunch, you probably don't need the most expensive.I've been cutting wood with a handsaw since I was a kid - probably around 8 years old (grew up on a farm - and had a fort). I was terrible at it then, but was able to make two pieces out of one. I started building furniture in high school (good old Wood Shop Class - I think that is an archaic term now - kind of like rotary phones or a wristwatch that you wind, what sorcery is this?) but I digress. Those handsaws of my yesteryear were, of course, American/Western style push-cut saws, which were all I ever used until the last few years. I recall starting the cut with push-cut saws by dragging the teeth backwards over the wood until I got a shallow groove started. Of course, I only ever squared a line across one face of the board (and no edges), which didn't help me at all. But there was no internet in those days, and I didn't know Paul Sellers, so what was a poor boy to do?Enter the Pull-Cut, Japanese style saw - a game changer for me (and helped by two square lines on adjacent face and edge of item to be bifurcated) - The More you Know... I can now cut a board square in two directions, most of the time.These saws are sharp and accurate, even in Western hands. They are affordable, so give one a try and see if you like them as well as I do. There is something about that simple straight handle and a pull-cut motion that just seems more ergonomic - at least to me. Hopefully you will be so fortunate as well.

I finally took the plunge on my first Japanese saw and I can only say I wasted far too many years waiting to do so! This saw is sharp, very sharp.I have used it to rip 8' x 4' sheets of 1/4" ply to size in about half the time it would take me using a traditional push cut saw. (I used both the rip and the crosscut edge, both edges work on ply but the crosscut edge leaves a slightly cleaner cut)Pine is a joy to cut, it's almost like it's not even there. Now, onto hardwood and does it work on it? Yes, it most definitely does. I have cut teak, oak and walnut with it. It cuts so much faster and once you know how to use it properly it's very accurate.If you tend to stray from your lines when using a saw you can use the Paul Sellers method and cut a knife wall, that will keep you on track.Are there any downsides to this saw? No, none, well, if you call taking the time to learn how to use it correctly a downside then that's the only one.There is a slight learning curve but a few internet videos will fix that in no time. If like me you have exclusively used push cut saws your muscle memory will have to change a little. Remember it cuts on the pull and you'll be fine.The kerf is tiny, something else you will have to take note of, you'll need to get right up to your marks.Materials: The saw is well made, the blade is thin (This is by design) and the handle is sturdy and works well.One thing I might change though is to add some kind of fabric tape or hockey tape to the handle to ease pressure on the hand, especially if you are going to be cutting a lot of timber.Overall, this is a fantastic addition to my workshop and I can see no reason to go back to a push cut saw, ever!
