Japanese (Ryoba) Razor Saws cut on the pull stroke. They leave a very thin kerf and are razor sharp---special tempering helps these saws keep their edge for a long time. We find that they cut faster and more accurately than even the finest western saws. One side is for crosscutting; the other is for ripping. This is the only handsaw that many woodworkers use.
Specs are: 9 teeth per inch on ripping side; 22 teeth per inch on crosscut side; 9-1/2" blade length; Long rattan-wrapped handle.
Replacement blades are available.
