tooth spacing increases from the heel to the tip of the blade for easier starting cuts

Durable Japanese steel

The blade is made from high quality Japanese steel that holds its edge for a long time and delivers clean, accurate cuts. Whether you work in softwood or hardwood, the tough steel construction supports reliable performance and reduces the need for frequent replacement.

Made in Japan

Each saw is handcrafted in a historic Japanese city by experienced artisans with more than 100 years of hand saw making tradition. This method of production reflects a heritage of honest craftsmanship, history and quality. The result is a tool known worldwide for its precision, incredibly sharp teeth and dependable performance on the job site or in the workshop.

Premium components

The Temagari saw features a dark brown solid wood handle made from Wingnut, a species related to walnut, which provides a comfortable and natural grip. Brass hardware and accents complement the quality high carbon steel blade, creating a stylish Western inspired design that feels as good in the hand as it looks in your tool collection.

Nokogiri 鋸

Nokogiri are traditional Japanese saws used across Southeast Asia. Unlike European saws, they are designed primarily to cut on the pull stroke rather than when pushing away from you. This pull action requires less effort from the user and helps you achieve very accurate cuts with greater control. Because the blade cuts in tension, it does not buckle in the kerf and is easier to guide in a straight line, which improves both precision and comfort during longer cutting sessions.

Why choose a pull saw

Japanese saws, unlike European ones, are engineered to cut on the pull stroke. This cutting action requires less effort and allows you to make precise, clean and accurate cuts, even when working for longer periods. The iconic narrow and flexible blade of a Japanese saw does not twist when it is pulled, so your cut stays straight and controlled. Most Japanese hand saws also have a deeper blade profile and a high tooth count, which supports both fast cutting and fine finish work. They are an ideal tool not only for detailed finishing work on your projects but also for general carpentry and timber framing.
