Originally designed for Bonsai, this saw is actually great for a number of small sawing tasks including fine detail work \u0026amp; thin materials. The narrow blade enables the saw to reach into tight awkward places where ordinary saws cannot get to. It's also great for cutting curves in wood, or if you need to create a tight circle radius cut. The handle is made of a tough plastic with a bolt that secures the blade in place, \u0026amp; gives the user an option for replacing the blade. Includes a plastic case that pops on the handle for secure storage.  Made in Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Japanese Pull Saws\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e     Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke. Their teeth are very precise \u0026amp; are angled towards the handle; this allows you to cut with great efficiency \u0026amp; control, resulting in precise straight cuts. Another benefit with cutting on the pull-stroke is that you are able to follow your cutting line, giving you accurate \u0026amp; smoother cuts. The blades on Japanese saws are generally constructed of a thinner steel which produces a finer kerf (space left by the blade). Another major benefit by cutting on the pull-stroke is that less force \u0026amp; effort is required when sawing, leaving you not as fatigued when working. Western saws (push saws) on the other hand, typically have teeth that cut on the push stroke. By cutting on a push stroke, the wood will splinter \u0026amp; chip away from you (which is desired in certain circumstances). Western saws typically have thicker blades to keep from bending out when pushing through the cut; they also generally create a larger kerf than Japanese saws. Many Japanese Saws also have blades that disassemble from the handle, making storage easy for a small bag or toolbox. Also, one can get replaceable blades for their Japanese saws when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e   Hardwick \u0026amp; Sons is pleased to offer quality tools from Japan for the many people who desire special \u0026amp; well-crafted tools.
