Compact Japanese Pull Saw for Woodworking - 7 Inch Ryoba Double Edge

All SUIZAN products are manufactured in Japan by master craftsmen in one of the country's towns renowned for its centuries-old craft-making tradition. SUIZAN offers the highest quality Japanese tools, including saws crafted with traditional techniques and modern equipment.

Unlike European "push saws" that cut through a pushing motion, Japanese "pull saws" from SUIZAN are designed to slice through materials using a pulling action. This pull-based cutting approach results in a lighter, less strenuous experience and a cleaner, more precise edge.

The secret to SUIZAN's exceptional performance lies in the use of top-quality Japanese steel. This high-grade material allows the blades to maintain a razor-sharp edge, delivering exceptional durability and wear resistance.

SUIZAN's Japanese-style saws, such as the Ryoba (double-edge) model, are engineered to provide versatility in woodworking. The Ryoba features two distinct blade edges: one for rip cuts along the grain, and the other for cross-cuts across the grain. This diverse functionality empowers users, whether seasoned professionals or DIY enthusiasts, to expand their woodworking capabilities and explore new creative avenues.

Ergonomic considerations are also at the forefront of SUIZAN's design. The saw handles are crafted from elastomer, providing a non-slip, secure grip that allows for comfortable and confident cutting, even during extended periods of use.

For the Ryoba 7-inch double-edge saw, the blade length measures 9.5 inches, with a thickness of 0.02 inches (0.5 mm) and a kerf width of 0.03 inches (0.8 mm). The teeth-per-inch (TPI) ratio is 19, with 9 TPI for cross-cutting and 15 TPI for rip-cutting.

SUIZAN's brand ambassador, Jonathan Katz-Moses, a renowned fine furniture builder and woodworker, highly recommends SUIZAN saws, stating, "If you are a fine furniture builder, woodworker or a just DIYer, a SUIZAN saw is going to have a great place in your shop."

The SUIZAN product line includes not only the Ryoba but also the Dozuki (dovetail) pull saw and the Flush Cut and Folding pull saw, all crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail and high-quality Japanese materials.

Whether you are a seasoned woodworking professional or an eager DIY enthusiast, SUIZAN's Japanese-style pull saws offer a unique and transformative experience, empowering you to unlock new levels of precision, efficiency, and creativity in your woodworking endeavors.
