This saw is imported directly from Japan. It is a "kataba" type Japanese saw with a single row of teeth for crosscutting wood. Its blade length is 250 mm, with a thickness of 0.5 mm. It is a saw produced by the "Z-saw" brand; the teeth are impulse-hardened. It features what is known as a universal tooth pattern that will work across different wood grains. It is a very versatile saw that will cut through solid wood as well as plywood and certain hardwoods.
This is a good saw for discovering the use of Japanese saws, which are thinner than European saws. This type of saw must be used carefully so as not to bend it and without using too much force. This type of saw is made from a chromium-containing alloy, so it is oxidation-resistant; they are quite flexible. The downside to this is that they are not sharpenable. This saw size will be suitable for all cabinetmaking and joinery work. It is set (the tooth pattern) for soft to medium-hard woods.
Unlike European saws, Japanese saws are pulled rather than pushed like our handsaws. This maneuverability allows for more precise and straighter cuts. By only pulling, you keep the blade under tension so it remains perfectly straight, with no spring effect.
With this tool, you can discover Japanese implements. For cabinetmakers, sculptors, carpenters, or simply DIY enthusiasts.
