SUIZAN Replacement Blade for Kataba Single Edge Saw 10.5"

Title says it all. The globe has been trying to catch up to the japanese since cutting tools were invented.While the round eye was using clubs in caves, the japanese were cutting T-Rex steaks and Megalodon sushi in Shinto temples that (i might add) are still standing today because of their insane joinery work.The best part is, it's not expensive.You can cut like a Neanderthal, or you can cut like a Samurai.

Excellent pull saw , great for finish work

Good saw. Cuts straight. Replacement blades always in stock. Timely shipping.

For people like me with a love of woodworking, but limited skills and patience, Japanese pull saws do an excellent job and require almost no maintenance. The kataba is one of the three styles I own, and is great for rough cutting.

Es una excelente herramienta de trabajo, extremadamente resistente, liviana y muy resistente!

Simply put, this saw is absolutely outstanding. The main reason I got this saw was for cutting rough lumber to length (are almost to length at least), however this saw quickly became an obviously much more capable tool. I can use this for everything from rough cross-cutting, to cutting out joinery, to even flush cutting pegs for timber framing, amazing tool at an amazing price. So far the blade has retained its sharpness through approximately 10 hours of hard use (stretched over multiple projects). I've little doubt that it will last much longer before needing a new blade considering it hasn't even begun to slow down.

I've played with some cheaper versions of this type of saw and was never impressed. This brand may have changed my mind. I actually used this to cut the center divider out from under my sink, knowing that it would have to be reinstalled without any filler. I was able to easily cut through the divider without leaving a gap, and I was able to reinstall using only glue and clamps.If you're new to this type of saw, IT IS PULL-ONLY! A single push stroke could damage the blade, so keep that in mind.The handle is hand wrapped, and I was impressed with how well made it is. This seems to be an art form that's going away, but the people making these did an excellent job of it.

Works well but others I've had are perfectly straight when looking down the length of it. This one veers off a couple degrees where the handle meets the blade makes cuts feel awkward
