  AboutJapanese Pull Saws

  Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke. Their teeth are very precise & are angled towards the handle; this allows you to cut with great efficiency & control, resulting in precise straight cuts.Another benefit with cutting on the pull-stroke is that you are able to follow your cutting line, givingyou accurate & smoother cuts. The blades on Japanese saws are generally constructedof a thinner steelwhich produces a finerkerf (space left by the blade). Another major benefit bycutting on the pull-stroke is that less force & effort is required when sawing, leaving you not as fatigued when working. Western saws (push saws) on the other hand, typically have teeth that cut on the push stroke. By cutting on a push stroke, the woodwill splinter & chip away from you (which is desired in certain circumstances). Western sawstypically have thicker blades to keep from bending out when pushing through the cut; they also generally create a larger kerf than Japanese saws. ManyJapanese Saws also have blades thatdisassemble from the handle, making storage easy fora small bag or toolbox. Also, one can get replaceable blades for their Japanese saws when needed.
