Ryoba Double Edge Saw 12" (300mm) 4-Hole Handle
Built to Cut Straight

Exclusive to Our Official Website

The 4-hole design tunes blade tension precisely — flexible at the center, firmly held at the root — so the blade resists twisting and cuts stay true even after hours of hard use. An added top edge on the rip-cut teeth delivers top-tier performance not just for rip-cuts, but for cross-cuts, angled cuts, and knotty grain as well. The cross-cut teeth are impulse-hardened for outstanding durability and a lasting, sharp edge.

Wood Planer 1.7" (42mm)

Precision in a Compact Size

A palm-sized block plane built with a double-blade design — the added chip breaker sits just behind the cutting edge, controlling tear-out and keeping the grain from lifting, even on tricky wood. Compact enough for detail work and chamfering, yet precise enough for a glass-smooth finish that larger planes struggle to match.

Wood Planer 2.4" (60mm)

Master of the Surface

A traditional Japanese block plane for those who demand a finish no sandpaper can replicate.
The laminated blade — high-carbon steel bonded to soft iron — holds a razor-sharp edge and sharpens with ease.
Fine tuning of the body and blade yields gossamer-thin shavings, transforming every pass into a precision operation.

Wood Chisel 1/2" (12mm)

The Clean Finish Only a Chisel Can Give

A traditional Japanese chisel — the Oire Nomi — for the precise work that saws and planes can't finish alone.
Hand-sharpened using techniques passed down over 150 years, the superalloy blade arrives razor-sharp and ready to use.
One chisel that opens the door to mortising, paring, and the clean cuts that define Japanese joinery.

Wood Chisel 15/16" (24mm)

The Power Behind Every Mortise

Where the 12mm chisel handles precision and fine detail, the 24mm takes on the heavier work — mortising, deep grooves, and rough shaping that call for a wider blade.
The same hand-sharpened superalloy edge, built to remove more material with every strike.

Furoshiki (traditional Japanese wrapping cloth)

The Heart Inside: More Than Just a Wrap

Your SUIZAN tools arrive wrapped in a Kin-cha Furoshiki, carefully crafted in Kyoto. The warm, golden-brown hue mirrors the beauty of finely polished wood, carrying an elegance befitting a craftsman's tools. Durable and hand-washable, this cloth is made to accompany you for a lifetime — just like the tools it holds.

Whether as a treat for yourself or a gift for a fellow woodworker, we hope you enjoy the new story your SUIZAN tools will write, woven together with the traditions of Kyoto, Japan.
