Japanese saw - buy original Japanese pull saws

Japanese saws have a long tradition. Hundreds of years ago, Japanese craftsmanship proved its worth, as exemplified by the "Shitennoji" temple complex in Osaka. To this day, Japanese tools shape various aspects of craftsmanship. Especially in woodworking, the Japanese pull saw is indispensable. This has not gone unnoticed by craftsmen in Europe, where pull saws are gaining increasing recognition.

The Difference Between Traditional Saws and Japanese Saws

As the title suggests, Japanese saws work on the pull stroke. This means the saw is moved through the material using a pulling motion, unlike traditional saws, which use a pushing motion. So, what are the advantages of Japanese pull saws? Here are the key benefits:

1) Pull cutting prevents the saw from getting stuck in the wood or potentially bending. This results in a longer lifespan for the saw.

2) Pulling the saw requires less force and provides the user with more control over the cut.

3) Our Japanese pull saws feature an exceptionally high-quality tooth design. The teeth are extremely sharp, enabling very clean cuts. The "trapezoidal tooth design" ensures a smooth cut, eliminating the need for post-processing, such as sanding.
 

Which Japanese Saw is Best for You?

Ultimately, the right choice of Japanese saw depends on the type of work you need to do. However, as a general rule:

The finer and more precise the task, the finer the tooth design should be.

How to Care for Your Japanese Saw

Our Japanese saws are made from high-quality carbon steel. Thanks to this and other special features, they guarantee a long lifespan – but only with proper care!

Here’s how to ensure your Japanese saw works for you for years to come:

1) Prevent Accidents Before using the saw, check the workpiece for foreign objects, such as nails or screws, as these can cause significant damage. Prevent the possibility of tooth breakage and other issues by inspecting the material beforehand.

2) Protect the Teeth Most of our saw models come with a tooth guard. This not only protects the extremely sharp teeth but also ensures they stay in excellent condition while being stored safely in your toolbox.

3) Keep the Saw Clean To protect the saw blade from contamination, avoid touching it with bare hands. Always handle the blade with a cloth or gloves. You can clean the saw occasionally using a cloth and some oil to maintain its performance and longevity.
