Japanese Pull Saw, Hand Saw With Double Edges of 11/17 TPI, SK5 Flexible Blade Flush Cut Saw for Wood Cutting

There are a lot of different manufacturers of these small flush-cut saws and, it seems, they're all made in China. Same teeth (14/17), etc. so, I thought I'd try the "cheaper" version. I will say, this little saw is an amazing little tool! While the size is limiting, the teeth are aggressive enough to get easily through black walnut & other hardwoods like maple & oak. The fine teeth side went smoothly through some fir I had but, it's my fault for not using a sacrificial backer piece to eliminate tear out. I was so excited using the thing I simply forgot! Don't put good habits "on pause" & you'll be satisfied using this saw in all sorts of woodworking applications. I was reluctant in spending more on the "higher end" spectrum as they all seemed to have similar characteristics. I can't compare this to the more expensive models where it appears just a difference in handles is the only variance. I would guess some tool "purists" might feel differently however, this little guy is worth every penny. Happy I added this to my tool arsenal for making quality cuts.

This saw is seriously impressive. Unlike regular saws that need a ton of effort to push through wood, this one works on the pull stroke, making cutting way easier and more precise. The blade is super thin and sharp, so it slices through wood like butter. Plus, it has two different types of teeth—fine on one side and coarser on the other—which means you can switch it up depending on the job.The wooden handle feels great in hand—solid grip, comfy to hold, and gives you total control while cutting. I’ve used it for all sorts of woodworking, and it always leaves clean, smooth edges. It’s honestly a game-changer compared to traditional saws because you don’t have to use as much force, which means less fatigue.If you’re into DIY or woodworking, this is a must-have. It’s well-made, easy to use, and delivers great results. Definitely worth it

There is much to like about this small saw. It is two sided with coarser teeth on one side for cuts requiring more aggressive cutting, and finer teeth on the other for cuts requiring more finesse. It has a small kerf on both sides and is very useful for flush cutting dowels and other small cuts. I've used it on both hard and soft woods and it makes relatively short work of both. It is extremely affordable, coming in at less than half the price of other Japanese-style saws, but the build is not very solid. The blade wobbles in the handle straight out of the package and I do not expect it to last very long, especially if used too much for any larger, full-board sized cuts. It also has a short blade, making it impossible to use with any kind of miter box. So if you want to use it for precise angled cuts you'll have to make marks and free hand it. If I had spent more money I would have been sorely disappointed, and certainly would be rating it less than 4 stars. But for the price my expectations were pretty low going in. If you're buying for small flush cuts, I can recommend this saw. The blade is thin and flexible and it's well-suited to that task. For anything larger or requiring more precision, you might want to just spend a few more dollars and get something larger and better built.

This saw is so important for back yard gardeners! I’m a grandma in my 70’s and have no trouble using it because of its compact size. It cuts like the big guys out in our garage though. Very well made and durable. And sharp!

Best but for under $7. Bought it to cut wood pegs sticking above board. I was pleasantly surprised. Looks like good quality. So sharp you have to use care. If I had a friend I would buy him one.

lots of pictures to share. I had an old bush out front i wanted gone. The base and some limbs were bigger then my clippers could handle. As I was looking at this I thought well I should check online . This was rated the top on any list I looked at. Plus they shipped fast. It comes with two guards to go over the saw blades. The box was a little mashed but imo that didnt matter one bit. My son was going to do most of it, we made plans the next day. While he was out running errands I thought, ill try and see how well it works lol.....I couldn't stop cutting! lol I was so impressed at the ease of it I did all but the bottom trunk parts. Now I have more sun coming to my orange and rose. Plus there is satisfaction getting it done yourself. Im not spry like my son anymore. But this was easy to use and made me feel capable. I rinsed with water and laid it out to dry then recovered the blades. I so highly recommend this. Im showing you pictures of the branches and trunk . I wouldn't go higher in thickness as it bends...so only as thick in the photos.

Good product

Understand that I've never used a japanese pull saw before. This saw so far is supper easy to use. Just let the blade do the work. Cuts fast and clean and cut flush without damaging the adjacent surface.
