Japanese Hand Saw [Bamboo Cutting] 8-1/4" Japanese Pull Saw with Blade Cover, Made in JAPAN

I bought this to cut plastic, plexiglass to be exact. But we had a nor’easter storm over night that toppled a large tree branch into my yard. Since this was the only saw I had on hand I thought I would give it a try. And mind you I hadn’t used it before. It was great on the branches. The largest to the smallest. Clean cuts and easy to use. The blades are very sharp and the fact that you pull it helps a lot. I just wiped the blade clean and put it back in its case. Really happy I bought this.

I grow a lot of bamboo and cut it for use as stakes and various projects. I have previously cut the bamboo cane with a large pruner, the cutter ended up crushing the canes. I wanted to be able to cut bamboo and needed a saw with fine teeth. This saw fit the bill nicely, the blade has many small teeth and makes a nice clean cut. The saw blade is thin buts works well to cut the bamboo quickly and I can easily cut angled cuts which I wasn't able to do with pruners.

This is one of those those tools that I would say is a lifetime tool for someone who uses it right. It's well built and my goodness is it nice and sharp! I used to to clean up some limbs after an ice storm wrecked my yard, and it sure worked great. The shape of the handle allows you to get a good strong pull on it, and those teeth really bite in. Afterward I cleaned it (carefully!) and put some tsubaki oil on it, and expect it will be as good as new next time it's needed. If Something were to happen to it or I manage to wear it out or try to cut through rebar or something, I would definitely buy one again, but again, if you take basic care with it, it will last for years of good cutting.

This saw cuts through bamboo really well leaving a nice smooth finish to the cut. Just what I needed for use on the bamboo canes and hiking and hiking sticks that I make. Not a real issue, but the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the flex in the blade being a little more than I desire. It's mainly a personal thing. I would buy it again.

Great for trimming bamboo.

Ignore any reviews of this saw questioning it's ability to cut wood. I craft with bamboo daily, sold over 1500 artisan bamboo products on Etsy. I can asuure you, bamboo is not wood, and cutting it is not the same. Here in America we all grew up attending wood shop in school building our housesfrom timber. We understand tree wood. Bamboo however is hollow, with a different cellular structure and completely different grain than timber. Plus it has a thin outer skin which tends to fray if not cut with care. This saw is my new favorite for cutting bamboo, and I've tried a bunch. It cuts easy and clean without much effort. I use it for both cured and fresh cut, multiple bamboo species, and it deliers nice cuts across the board. Don't be surprised if your bamboo saw dosn't cut tree branches as good as you'd hoped. However, If you plan to use your bamboo saw to cut bamboo, well then you'll find it works very well. The protective shell is all gravy-

Sliced through thick bamboo like butter. Works great!

This sliced through my bamboo stalks with no problem at all! Some I have are over 2 inches in diameter and it was a beautiful easy clean cut! So very happy to have this!
