Japanese Saws The Verdict

Post by Totally Scrambled »

Today I have tried out my new saws and have to say so far I am impressed.
The pruning saw was like a hot knife through butter even going through 6" of green Hornbeam with very little exertion on my part.
Had a play with the ones I got for woodworking and they too cut very fast and pretty accurately. The lack of accuracy is probably down to me getting used to a new method of sawing though.
All in all I really like them )t'

Morning,
The pruning saw dosn't seem to have a makers name, or at least it is in Japanese which I can't read. My beutiful wife got it from Here
The wood working ones are Gyokucho Razorsaws, a Ryoba Ultra Fine - 240mm, a Dozuki Universal - 240mm and a Kataba Ultra Hard - 240mm. The last three are a set and are reduced in price on the same site that the pruning saw came from )t'

PS Ali had a go with the pruning saw yesterday and said it was easy to use and even she didn't find it hard going.

Glad they are working out for you Dom, they do have a small learning curve to get over before you get the best out of them but they are a worthy the addition to the toolbox..
Dont ever grow up, its a trap
