Product description
Very fine teeth for cross cutting and tenon joints, with a rigid spine for control and precision.
The SK-5 steel goes through the traditional heat treatment process of oil quenching, meaning the blades can be resharpened over time.
Once you’ve tried Japanese saws for woodworking, you’ll never look back - but a small degree of care and disciplined is called for to get started, as with many Japanese tools. Handle carefully, saw in a smooth action on the pull stroke, and avoid very hard woods.
Best usage
Traditionally used for Kumiko – the Japanese woodworking technique of assembling thin pieces of wood (without nails or glue) into intricate patterns for decorative panels and shoji screens – a Dozuki saw is designed for detailed work. The fine blade is supported by a strong spine, which helps to maintain tension during the pull stroke. Ideal for precise tasks like cutting dovetails, tenons, and other fine joinery.
Carefully brush away sawdust after each use, and treat the blade with a light coat of camellia oil to prevent rust. Store in a safe, dry place (ideally in a blade guard or sheath) to protect the fine teeth from damage.
