Co. Japanese Flush Cut Saw - 6 Inch Double Edge Pull Saw for Flush Cutting Dowels, Pegs, Wedges - Hardwood Softwood

I've used a few American made pull saws and they were pretty good, although they did have a tendency to bind and buckle a little bit - but maybe it was my lack of experience and skill. Anyway, this one seems to make me a better woodworker. It is much sharper than I expected, follows the track with ease and there is much less binding than what I had experienced previously. I'll be buying a couple more of these Japanese style saws from Temple as needs come up. I bought this one just to see if it was as good as it looked in the videos I've seen from skilled woodworkers. Just today, I had to separate a glue-up on a finished surface. This saw didn't leave a mark / not a single scratch!

Very nice saw, good price and well packaged. I liked it so much that I bought another one!

Quality is fitness for purpose which this little saw has in spades. Light weight , flexible , with double sided teeth it is perfect for flush cutting . I have been using it on delicate wooden pieces only millimeters wide and it cuts cleanly on the pull.Excellent product !!!

Good for flush cut

Bought this for flush cutting inset dowels in a workpiece. Basically it works perfectly - I cannot imagine how you could have a better saw for this application. Price is excellent too.

I've long used a smaller but similar saw for trimming miller dowels and small box joints with significant protrusion. That saw has identical teeth on both edges, but with all teeth set slightly on the side not contacting the work. This saw has no set so cuts a little more slowly, but this allows both the coarser and the finer edges to cut from either side of the work, an advantage in many cases. Both edges seem to cut with minimal damage to the face of the workpiece. I used it for flush cutting dowels and for trimming protruding box joints ( I prefer to make them a bit more proud and cut away the excess rather than try to make them so closely that only sanding is required.) Some slight sanding is required after using either saw, but it is minimal in both cases.This saw is a little less expensive than my domestic original, but has a replaceable blade which will save even more in the long term.

It's apparent that there was a good amount of time, effort, and specificity put into this whole line of saws. The thin kerf is excellent. The angle of the teeth is about as perfect as you can get for cutting an array of many common wood species. The handle is ergonomic and lightweight without unnecessary frills. That being said, the brass nuts and bolts are a welcome feature, both esthetically and functionally. They won't rust like a lower quality component would. I'll definitely be buying replacement blades to keep on hand for when the time comes. I'll also be buying additional saws to keep on hand for teaching in the shop.

Easy to use. Very sharp, made a very consistent cut.
