  •  A small semi-flexible Japanese pull-saw that's great for general lumber, hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, dry bamboo, plastics & laminates. The blade has 18 TPI which makes for nice fine cuts on materials. Most woodworkers would find this as a good utility saw. The blade depth is 1-1/4" which allows the saw to get into tight areas. With no metal spine back, it allows you to cut through deep material. The blade can be removed when/if needed to be replaced. See replacement Dekora blade here.   Made in Japan.

    About Japanese 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, giving you accurate & smoother cuts. The blades on Japanese saws are generally constructed of a thinner steel which produces a finer kerf (space left by the blade). Another major benefit by cutting 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 wood will splinter & chip away from you (which is desired in certain circumstances). Western saws typically have thicker blades to keep from bending out when pushing through the cut; they also generally create a larger kerf than Japanese saws. Many Japanese Saws also have blades that disassemble from the handle, making storage easy for a small bag or toolbox. Also, one can get replaceable blades for their Japanese saws when needed.

       Hardwick & Sons is pleased to offer quality tools from Japan for the many people who desire special & well-crafted tools. The wide variety of Japanese products that we offer come from the many craftsmen & toolmakers in Japan who have a special dedication to their skillful craft & art of toolmaking.

so far so good

I am new to woodworking, and wanted a small saw for cutting yard branches into cubes for an art piece I have in mind. I've only just started, but it seems to do well. Thanks, Hardwick & Sons for the excellent saw and transaction, and the 1976 newspaper wrapping!
