Japanese saws cut quickly, smoothly, and are a joy to use.
What We Love About This Item:
Up Close

A Japanese saw cuts as you pull it toward you. A push saw has to be thick enough not to buckle on the cut; pulled taut, this blade can be much thinner, which means a finer kerf and less effort per stroke.
The saw tracks where you start it. Allow a few practice cuts if you have only used push saws.
The Ryoba and Dozuki take replacement blades that fit the same handle, so a worn blade does not retire the saw.
Blade, teeth and handle to Garrett Wade specification. The set costs less than the four saws bought one at a time.

Four Saws, Four Cuts

Japanese Ryoba Saw
Crosscut and Rip
9½″ blade, crosscut teeth on one edge, rip teeth on the other. Reach for it first.

Dozuki Dovetail Saw
Dovetails and Tenons
7″ stiff-backed blade, 25 tpi, 1¾″ depth of cut. Straight through joinery.

Flush Cutting Saw
Pegs and Through-Tenons
6″ flexible blade, 24 tpi, no set. Trims pegs and dowels flush without scoring the surface.

Detail Trim Saw
Tight Spaces
5″ blade, 13 tpi, 5/16″ wide, oak handle. A keyhole saw for cuts nothing else reaches.
Japanese Hand Saws
Japanese hand saws cut on the pull, so the blade can be thin: a narrow kerf, less wasted wood, less effort. The Ryoba and Dozuki take replacement blades, so a worn blade does not retire the handle.
No one saw does every cut well. The Ryoba does the everyday work, the Dozuki the joinery, the flush cutting saw the cleanup, and the detail trim saw the spots the others cannot reach. More in our guides to Japanese saws vs Western saws and the different Japanese saws.

Four Japanese hand saws: a 9½″ Ryoba saw with crosscut teeth on one edge and rip teeth on the other, a 7″ Dozuki dovetail saw with a stiff back, a 6″ flush cutting saw with no set, and a 5″ detail trim saw with an oak handle. The suede case is sold separately.
They cut on the pull stroke, so the blade is in tension and can be thinner. That means a finer kerf and more control. Allow a few cuts to get used to it if you have only used Western saws.
For the Ryoba and the Dozuki, yes: each has a replacement blade, linked in the specifications above. The flush cutting saw and detail trim saw do not.
The Ryoba saw. One edge crosscuts and the other rips, so it covers most everyday cuts. Add the Dozuki when you start cutting dovetails and tenons.
A Ryoba, a Dozuki, a flush cutting saw and a detail trim saw.
