Why Use A Japanese Pull Saw?

Harder Steel – Stays Sharp Longer
Cuts On Pull Action – Higher Cutting Accuracy
Requires Less Effort – Thinner blade is Light Weight To Use

The most noticeable design feature of a Japanese saw is that the teeth are angled backwards towards the handle. When in use, the cutting action is on the pull-stroke hence Japanese saws are often referred to as pull saws. The saw is designed to cut as you draw it through the timber, totally the opposite to a traditional western saw. The benefit of the pull saw design, is that as much pressure as desired can be applied to the cut without fear of the blade buckling. This gentle method of sawing also ensures far more accuracy and a much thinner blade can be used which equals less resistance and a faster cut.
