Japanese Pull Saw 9.5 Inch, Hand Saw with Double Edges of 10/17 TPI and Replaceable Blade, Ryoba Flush Cut Saw, Sharp and Light Woodworking Tools Gifts for Men and Women-KY01

Great saw that punches above it's weight. It's my go to saw despite my rather large collection of japanese pull saws. Great steel that holds an edge well, I have used it so much I have had to sharpen it multipul times and it always works like brand new after. For the price I wouldn't of expected such great quality.

Nothing to dislike about these Japanese saws, I use it when I am wood turning.

Okay, so I've used a lot of different "western" saws, but I have never ventured into Japanese style saws. I kept seeing YouTube videos singing the praises of these "pull saws," so I thought that I would give it a try and chose this one from Amazon because it seemed low in price and had good reviews. I must say, for the price, it is everything that it promises to be. It is sharp, comes with a blade guard on each side, it assembles easily and is comfortable to use. I'm a little older, so I'm not going to squat down on a low bench or use those short sawhorses that sit inches above the ground, which makes the long handle a little less useful to me. I still find it comfortable to use on a high bench, though I'm probably choking up on the handle more than I should. I should point out that this is really a two-handed kind of tool. I've seen some videos where craftsmen go at it with just one hand; I don't think it can be controlled very well that way. I may be wrong. The blade is nice and wide, which helps make the cuts straight, assuming you get them started straight. On my western saw I usually began with a couple of pull strokes, guiding the blade with my left thumb. Then, held the board with my left hand while I pushed to cut. So, I tried a similar approach with this saw, except beginning with a push. This works best if you use very light pressure. Then once the cut is started, you're probably going to want both hands on the handle, so you need to have the board well clamped or secured on the short sawhorses with your weight, use your favorite method. The only weird thing comes with a long cut (a rip cut for example) where the teeth on the back of the blade start to enter the cut that you made (kerf). The cross-cut teeth have a wider "set" (resulting in a wider kerf), so the longer you can avoid having them enter the cut, the better. The length of the blade comes into play here; the longer the blade, the more freedom you have to change the angle of attack. I think this particular saw will suit my needs, because if I'm doing a really long cut, I'm opting for a power tool. My Western saws have a much wider kerf. I suppose the blade needs to be wider so that it is stiff enough to cut on the "push" stroke without folding. That's a good argument for using this saw, that narrower kerf means less waste and (IMHO) leads to a smoother cut. Of course, my KERYE saw is new and sharp, the smoothness of the cut may change with use. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality, accuracy and ergonomic features of this saw and look forward to becoming more skilled in its use.
