Kinzo Ryoba classic Deluxe - Japanese pull saw - professional

€ 73,95 (including VAT)

Kinzo DX 金 蔵 Deluxe, Japanese double-sided pull saw.

The Kinzo DX saws have a characteristic saw blade that is ground on both sides. One side is meant for shortening and the other especially for straight cuts in the direction of the fiber. The Kinzo DX classic is the professional version of the Ryoba saw, cuts quickly and efficiently without having to change the saw or saw blade.

The Japanese saw or nokogiri () is a type of saw used in woodworking and Japanese carpentry that cuts on the pull stroke, unlike most European saws that cut on the push stroke. Japanese saws are the best known pull saws, but they are also used in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Nepal. Among European saws, both coping saws for woodworking and jeweler's saws for metal working also cut on the pull stroke like Japanese saws. Cutting on the pull stroke is claimed to cut more efficiently and leave a narrower cut width (kerf). On the other hand, a pull stroke does not easily permit putting one's body weight behind a stroke. This can be readily solved by using a vise or clamping. Another disadvantage, due to the arrangement and form of the teeth, is that Japanese saws do not work as well on hardwoods as European saws do. Japanese saws were originally intended for comparatively soft woods like cypress and pine whereas European saws were intended for hard woods like oak and maple.

This traditional Ryoba saw has very good cutting characteristics and can be used for the finer sawing. Use this handy Ryoba for example for model building and instrument building. The saw is traditionally equipped with a wooden handle and a razor sharp ground saw blade in two different lengths.

The saw has a three-sided cut trapezoidal toothing (21 TPI) on the short side. The shell side of the saw blade is provided with a triangular toothing that increases to 9 TPI. The blades of this Ryoba are hardened but the teeth can be ground.

Replacement blades are not available.

This saw comes with plastic cover.
