SUIZAN 9.5 Inch Japanese Pull Saw Hand Saw with Double Edge for Woodworking - Ryoba Style

S: I bought an unfinished wooden stool, and it felt about 1 inch too high for my use. Checked YouTube “How to properly shorten stool” and found a use of jigs and hand pull saw. I am not skilled, and haven’t done much of carpentry. This saw cuts so precisely and smoothly that I didn’t need much of adjustment after cutting four legs. I loved it so much that I shortened a chair. Amazing tool.

H. A. S.: Works great with very little effort. Better control to make straight cuts than the typical western style push saws.

Danen G.: So, these Japanese (or knockoffs of Japanese - that's a switch) saws are all over the internet, but for good reason - they work well. This is not the most expensive Japanese saw of this type that you can buy (not by a long shot), but if you're woodworking isn't making you enough money to buy the most expensive Japanese saws and still afford to buy lunch, you probably don't need the most expensive.

I've been cutting wood with a handsaw since I was a kid - probably around 8 years old (grew up on a farm - and had a fort). I was terrible at it then, but was able to make two pieces out of one. I started building furniture in high school (good old Wood Shop Class - I think that is an archaic term now - kind of like rotary phones or a wristwatch that you wind, what sorcery is this?) but I digress. Those handsaws of my yesteryear were, of course, American/Western style push-cut saws, which were all I ever used until the last few years. I recall starting the cut with push-cut saws by dragging the teeth backwards over the wood until I got a shallow groove started. Of course, I only ever squared a line across one face of the board (and no edges), which didn't help me at all. But there...

David Rattenbury: These Japanese pull saws are a must for any woodworking shop especially if you are jointing by hand. The thin blade allows for a very accurate cut, I find that using a square in conjunction with the saw pressed against it can give you a good vertical cut if a mitre box is not to hand. A pull saw on soft or hard woods is like cutting butter with a knife. Highly recommended.

David Poirier: I cut through a 2-foot board of wood using only my thumb, my pinky and lots of patience. Don’t rush it. Don’t muscle it. It will bind up. Just let gravity supply the pressure, be patient, and it will glide smoothly until the job is done. Have a lot of wood to cut and very little time? Get some power tools instead.

Sanket ChavanSanket Chavan: The media could not be loaded.  I am a DIY enthusiast trying my hands at woodworking. Unnees-bees doesn't work when working with wood.
The saw gives precise cuts and glides through pine wood effortlessly. Takes 2-3 tries to get the movement right.

I had tried the local aari/saw which was terrible and gave weird cuts. Even a circular saw didn't work well for thicker woods. But with a little amount of elbow grease, this saw works like a charm. Makes the entire wood cutting process seem like meditation. If that makes sense.
The above experience is only for pine wood. Will update once i move on to hardwood.
Definitely worth the price. You can see the difference in finishing. The smaller bar stool was cut using a circular saw. The taller one was cut using this blade.

First and foremost, the 9.5-inch Ryoba Double Edge Flush Cut blade offers the best of both worlds.
