These are finest Japanese saws that we carry. Hand made the old way in Japan by the Hishiki work shop including hand hardening of the entire alloy steel blade (RC 61), hand correction of blade warping and taper ground blade thickness as well as carefully hand filed and hand set teeth. The thin blade of this Dozuki Saw will allow you to cut tight fitting joints with high precision. The ultra fine teeth with a cross-cut pattern will leave an extremely smooth surface finish when cutting hardwoods. This is an excellent Dozuki Saw for cutting any type of fine joinery and is suitable for both soft and hard woods. This Dozuki Saw has the following key specifications:
- 7-1/8" Length of Blade
- 19-3/4" Overall Length
- 28 Teeth Per Inch
- 0.010" Blade Thickness by the teeth tapering to 0.009" by the steel back
- 0.012" Kerf
- 1-3/4" Depth of Cut by the tip tapering to 1-3/8" by the handle.
Rattan wrapped wooden handle. Slightly curved steel back for extra rigidity. Made in Japan.
HAND MADE JAPANESE SAWS
These handmade saws are as good as they come but require a certain amount of care in use to allow for a long life. The entire blade has been hardened and tempered as opposed to just hardening the tips of the teeth. Importantly, this allows the teeth to stay sharp a long time but it also makes the blade prone to breakage if subjected to excessive side forces when cutting. Therefore, in use, make sure you have clean cut; let the saw do the work and do not force it; do not pry and leverage the blade; do not bend the blade and try to change direction in the middle of the cut.
If you wish to have a Japanese saw that is more capable of taking some rougher treatments, you are better off selecting a saw that is not handmade and that have impulse hardened tooth tips.
