AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Japanese saws, mainly used in woodworking and traditional wooden architecture in Japan, are of a traditional form. In contrast to "push saws" like those used in Europe where the saw is pushed to cut material, Japanese saws are "pull saws," where the cutting action is done by pulling. As a result, the blades are thin and can cut more efficiently with narrower kerfs (the width of the cut). However, it can be more difficult to apply body weight when pulling.

Japanese saws are also used outside Japan and are exported. The majority of exports originate from Kobe Port near Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, a prominent saw production area. While the United States is the primary export destination, in recent years, exports to European countries have been increasing.

Total weight : 1025 g
