Japanese hand saws
Japanese saws (called nokogiri 鋸 in Japanese ) are hand-held wood saws with very thin blades that cut with a pulling action. This ensures a clean, narrow and smooth cut. The thin blade requires less effort and therefore the Japanese saw is excellent to work with even for beginners.
Japanese saws come in a wide range of types for a variety of woodworking applications. They are mainly used for carpentry and joinery, but there are also saws for pruning trees. The thinnest types are suitable for precision joinery work such as herringbone joints. The most common types of Japanese saws are called Kataba, Ryoba and Dozuki, and they can be used in the workshop of the handyman and the most demanding professional.
