SUIZAN Flush Cut Saw 5" - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Ryoba Double Edge Handsaw Woodworking Tools

I'm in my 60's. I have small hands that aren't very strong. They've never been strong. Jar openers are my hands' friends. Using larger saws often results in me screwing up the cut as the saw tries to bounce all over the place. I decided to purchase a Japanese-made pull saw (avoiding the Chinese-made cheaper varieties). The blade is so thin it bends with ease and looking at it without trying it, you'd think it's not going to be able to do much. So far I've cut and shaped PVC trim to fit perfectly and thicker aluminum trim for the bathroom shower door frame WITH EASE AND ACCURACY! To cut the shower frame aluminum U accurately, I simply used 2 bands of painter's tape around it with a thin line between. The saw stayed on point and my cut looked as clean as the factory cut! This saw is SHARP! It's easy to use (only pull toward you, never push). It is SO comfortable in my hands and my arms aren't getting tired when doing cuts. It seems very versatile as far as what you can cut with it. I'm SUPER impressed. This is going to make small repair jobs around the house much easier and quicker. Wish I'd bought it 20 years ago! Japan, you rock!

Very sharp, thin, and flexible blade. Great for flush cutting dowel ends, etc. Comfortable to use and good quality, sturdy construction. After seeing how fast and smooth this cuts, and how well it's made, I ordered one of the larger versions for making bigger cuts. Very impressive compared to the western push cut saws I'm used to using!

you know, like your typical American-made hand saw. If you manhandle this, it will bend. It is, however, very forgiving on the learning curve. I’d wanted one of these for a LONG time, I thought, and for the price, needing something to make flush cuts in wooden plugs - and a LOT of trim/molding I found out later - I thought I’d buy one. First off, this is SHARP! First day, right out of the package, I somehow managed to cut my palm on the blade and I didn’t even feel it, just noticed red on my hand. Give this a LOT of respect. The cut on PULL design took about five seconds to get used to. It’s counterintuitive to how western saws work but once you use it, you’ll wonder why ALL saws aren’t made this way. Push-pull, different philosophies, same net result - this just seems easier. What I find this most useful for is making very fine, very thin cuts in wood trim and molding where the use of a handsaw would be awkward, or a chopsaw not giving me the fine control I need for smaller cuts or on smaller pieces of wood. This is very comfortable in the hand and makes very accurate cuts - the kerf is so fine I have to get higher power reading glasses to make sure I’m cutting ON or next to a 0.5mm mechanical pencil line - not that a cut that thin would make that much difference in fitting on the kind of stuff I work on, but I like to know where I’m cutting. This is small enough, light enough, to fit in your tool bag and get lost in there. One tip, and I don’t know for sure if this is stainless or not, but I folded a piece of paper in the plastic tube it came packaged in then soaked it with an anti-rust product. Cheap insurance and less chance of the teeth getting dinged/dented/dulled. One of my favorite tools now. Collect the set, save ‘em, trade ‘em!

Excellent saw, well worth the cost - Invest a little more in the version they make with a non-fixed (replaceable) blade! I bought this saw and squeezed years of life out of it (woodworking and beyond) and probably subjected it to some unfair abuse, but it held up remarkably well. It still cuts quickly and easily through just about anything, but I can feel that the edges are both fading. Unfortunately, the blade is fixed in the handle with rivets, not screws, so I can’t (easily, at least) just replace the failing saw blade. Suizan sells almost the exact same saw with a removable blade, as well as the replacement blades for them… So why sell this throwaway version at all???

I recently used the Japanese Style Pull Saw for flush cutting dowel, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! This saw is an absolute game-changer when it comes to flush cuts. The "pull saw" design of this product means that it cuts through materials via a pulling motion, resulting in a cleaner and smoother cut than what you typically get with a "push saw." I was able to achieve precise, flush cuts with minimal effort, thanks to the lightweight design and high-quality Japanese steel blade. Another thing I love about this saw is its versatility. With a robust blade for hardwood and a blade for softwood, it can cut through a wide range of woods, including oak, sandalwood, ebony, maple, and pine. The quality of the cuts remained consistent, regardless of the type of wood I was working with. It's also worth noting that the Japanese Style Pull Saw is made in Japan by master craftsmen with a long history of craft-making tradition. The attention to detail and quality control is evident in every aspect of this product. Overall, I highly recommend the Japanese Style Pull Saw to anyone in need of a versatile and reliable saw for their woodworking projects. Its unique design and high-quality construction make it a top contender in the market, and the ease of use and precision it provides make it a must-have for any woodworking enthusiast.

First, I love my power tools, I literally have almost every type of power tool for woodworking, BUT... During a project, drilled some holes out of line. Found a solution using plugs. The video used a Japanese saw, not exactly this one, but this saw worked perfectly. It was easy to maneuver, and cut like a hot knife through butter without gouging the wood. Holy cow, makes me want to try a block plane. LOL! SUIZAN Japanese Flush Cut Saw Small Hand 5 Inch Pull for Hardwood and Softwood Woodworking tools Trim. Exactly what it does, small, light, accurate and sharp as all get out...Absolutely Amazing!

I want to start this out by saying that I did not buy this saw because I needed it. This was bought solely based on seeing a friend of mine use one as well as my favorite YouTubers. I have waiting this long to review it because I wanted to use it on different materials and get past the learning curve. First and foremost...the learning curve. Get ready because there is one. Having grown up using a push saw for things, I figured that going to a pull saw would be easy. Not entirely. Pushing a pull saw can and will cause the blade to bend under pressure. However, take your time and use some scrap wood. It honestly only takes a few strokes to get the hang of it. Every now and then you will try to push it but the more you use it, the less that will happen. THEN, you will wonder why it took you so long to go to one. Secondly, this little saw can cut! I have used it on dowels, board trimming, cleaning dados and cutting Kaizen foam. It is extremely sharp and makes quick work of what ever you are needing. The result of the cut is smooth and requires very little sanding. Make sure to pay attention to the hardwood/softwood sides of the saw. The thin blade curves when you need it to without gouging the surrounding surface. Given the thin blade, the handle was my worry. The handle is easy to hold and allows you to make great cuts with little effort. A death grip isn't needed. Let the saw blade do the work and you will also be amazed. Overall, this little saw has sold me on pull saws. I will be ordering other sizes and styles of Suizan saws. Like the other reviewers have stated, I love it and don't know why I waited so long to get one.

I received this excellent little saw about 14 hours (!) after ordering it on Amazon Prime. I have to say, this is one of the best value purchases I've ever made on a tool. For the quality of results the price is amazing. I discovered a screw-up on a wood block after having glued it down to an expensive and delicate guitar top. The piece had to be removed and replaced, and the surface after removal had to be perfect for re-gluing the replacement. This saw did an outstanding job and did not even scratch the soft wood under the cut. My first cut ended up being a little bit above the seam. This was not the fault of the saw, but of the tight space and my technique. No problem. A second pass took things down to the base wood, still without damaging it in the slightest. A few quick passes with a cabinet scraper and it is almost like nothing ever happened. The attached picture shows the only remaining trace of the joint is the discoloration where the glue soaked into the wood. There are no scratches and not even the pencil lines have been disturbed. This little guy is going to get a lot of use. (Hopefully not always just to fix screw-ups.)

The best widely available saw, sharp, precise cuts, Blade is hard too," Mostly we use it for flush cutting the plugs in joineries. It makes the final sanding and finishing too much easier.

Bought this to cut some oak, and as another review mentioned, it cuts like a warm knife through butter. By putting 0 pressure and letting the blade do its thing, it made a very precise thin cut with no effort. When I received it I was a little skeptical that a saw this small could go through oak easily, but it convinced me very quickly. What also surprised me is how smooth the wood was after it was cut. As is typical for Japanese saws, it cuts on the pull motion instead of the push, which took 10 secs to retrain my muscle memory. This blade is very bendy, and I found if I used too much pressure, it jiggled like Santa's belly, which is a great indicator to ease up on the pressure.

Coupe parfaite ,scier en tirant mais sa vient vite

Hay que acostumbrarse a usarla porque en vez de empujar y cortar, debe usarse al revés, cortar tirando. Pero es muy eficiente y extremadamente flexible.
