Description

• The world's finest Japanese saws made by Gyokucho Razorsaw• Impulse hardened tooth tips for superior sharpness and to prevent tooth breakage• Each tooth is symmetrically set to ensure straight, drift free sawing• Ultra thin hardened steel blade requires significantly lower sawing force• Each blade is surface plated, not lacquered to prevent rust and to minimise friction• Light weight yet extremely strong handles for fatigue free sawing• Each blade is secured to the handle by a no-play adjustment screw, for smooth chatter free sawingThis set comprises two of the most useful Japanese saws. The dozuki has a rip cut tooth pattern, allowing it to make fine rip cuts. The double edged ryoba saw will make fine cross and rips cuts in exotic and hardwoods and is well sized for long, deep cuts. The overall design of the Japanese saws or "Noko Giri" differs greatly from the more familiar western style saws. The Japanese put great emphasis on balance in all areas of their life and their woodworking tools are no exception. Look at the shape and form of a Japanese saw and the handle is in perfect visual balance with the blade. Hold the same saw in your hand and you realise that the balance of the tool is not purely cosmetic. This makes the tool easier and more efficient to use and has a profound effect on your work.
