Japanese Handsaws
Japanese Handsaws - Thinner kerfs, faster cuts, greater precision
To discover the secret of their superior performance, take one in hand and make a cut. Since they cut on the pull stroke, they will not buckle; a thinner blade can be used; and a finer kerf results. The blades cut incredibly fast due to their extreme hardness (52-54 Rockwell), and unique shark-like teeth. The rattan-wrapped handles allow either a one-hand or two-handed grip. Japan
