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.

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.

I've had trouble using push saws because of issues with shoulders that caused pain when a push saw jammed or got stuck. Bought this saw hoping it would relieve the issue. This saw is great! Besides no pain using the saw I found it much easier to use than a push saw. I first tried a rip cut on a piece of pine, basically cut a 4" X 8" piece into three boards. Took some trial and error, but in the end I had made three boards 1/2" thick with little deviation of the cut. This took some time, but my arms never tired or hurt in any way. The handle is fairly long so you can easily adjust your grip. The saw was also very good at making crosscuts that were accurate and clean.The blade is quite thin, flexible, and sharp. Think it would be very good at cutting trim pieces like the bottom of doors when replacing flooring.I would highly recommend this saw to anyone. The ease of use and accuracy to me are much better than the standard push saw, especially for rip cuts.

Same day shipping. This is not the best Japanese saw on the market but a solid choice for the price. I am very happy with the purchase. It helpef me finish a delicate and expensive wood project. Super sharp. It holds an edge. Highly recommended.
