Japanese saws: centuries-old craftsmanship and real quality

Japanese pull saws

Most saws on this page are pull saws. This means that the saws are only effective on the pulling motion. Not the pushing motion. Not only is this safer, it also allows Japanese pull saws to be thinner, resulting in a finer saw blade. There are different types of Japanese hand saws. There are tree saws with coarse serrations and a curved blade for heavy outdoor use, small garden saws for pruning or woodworking saws with a fine serration for precise woodworking tasks. This page lists all saws manufactured in Japan and saws inspired by a Japanese design.
