Set of 4 Japanese Handsaws

Set of 4 Japanese Handsaws

An outstanding value in a set of very high quality Japanese saws. From ripping to crosscutting to dovetailing, they are perfect for meeting all of your primary joinery needs.

To discover the secret of their superior performance, take one in hand and make a cut. Since it cuts on the pull stroke, it will not buckle; a thinner blade can be used; and a finer kerf results.

The blades of these saws 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. Replaceable blades eliminate the need for re-sharpening. Japan
