A professional quality, single-edge, Kataba-type crosscut saw, with an easy-cutting, triple edge, non-set tooth design. Drawn-aluminum, rubber-gripped handles give them much greater heft than the typical rattan-wrapped wood handles.
The chrome-plated blades are taper-ground, and thickest along the cutting edge. The resulting clearance within the kerf eliminates the need to set the teeth, while giving better-than-usual "steer ability" during the cut.
All the advantages of Japanese saws remain: fine kerfs thanks to the pull-cut teeth; precise, controlled cutting; and durability from impulse hardening. Blade is replaceable with a quick flick of the stout locking lever.
Saw has an overall length of approximately 24", with a blade length of approx. 11-1/4". Limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Japan
