Why Japanese Saws?
The most striking advantage of the pull stroke saw is the ability to cut accurately with less effort. There is less binding, buckling and breaking of the blade because the blade is under tension on the pull cutting stroke rather than under compression as in Western style saws.
The ability of a saw to accurate cut along a line i.e. cutting control, is directly related to the saw's ease of cutting. Invariably, the saws that cut the most efficiently are the easiest to control. Because a Japanese saw is designed to cut on the pull stroke, it permits the use of thinner, harder steel and the blade can be much sharper.
This will allow the blade's to have thinner kerfs, reducing the effort of cutting due to a smaller amount of material being removed through the process. This is especially true when compared to Western-style saws.
In essence, Japanese saws provide a more efficient and accurate cut. It is recommended you pull the saw towards you gently - keeping the edge at a 15-degree angle. Then push softly and repeat. Once you have used a RAZORSAW you will wonder how anything else in the workshop did the job.
