SUIZAN Scie à main japonaise Dozuki 15,2 cm - Coupe croisée à queue d'aronde - Scie à tenon pour outils de travail du bois

I was needing a dovetail saw and couldn’t fork out the money for a quality western style saw and opted for this inexpensive 6” Japanese saw. And have to admit that I was skeptical at first, I’ve never used a saw that cut on the pull stroke.., well all I can say is it’s awesome once you get the hang of it.

Just used the product easy to use.sharpeand will be buying a larger model

Blade seems straight and true but the Handel is molded plastic to look like is basket weave. If it cuts true and maintains its edge Ifll do something different with the cheap Handle.

Updating my review. You buy these knowing youfre going to be replacing the blades. I used this exactly 7 times on very soft wood and Ifm already missing teeth on it. Looks like I have to go with a higher quality blade in the future.

In the west, we cut by pushing the saw away from us, almost as though we dislike it. In Japan, however, the cutting of wood is done by pulling the saw towards us, as though welcoming it into our woodworking. The motion is softer, allowing for a more controlled effort, even more intricasy, thus giving your woodworking a more artistic feeling. Also, the thinness of the blade allows a finer, more accurate cut, yet the top edge has a metal spine to hold the blade straight. Definitely a welcome change from the jarring sensation of a traditional handsaw.
