Japanese Pull Saw - Crosscut 9.5 - Hand Saw for Joinery Crosscuts, Kumiko, Tenon Shoulders - Dozuki Wood Saw - Temple Tool Co.

Excellent saw but it could have a more comfortable handle. I suppose there are many ways to hold this saw and therefore they made a handle that is symmetrical and with the most comfort for many uses. I just finished my first job with this saw and it took a couple of hours to get the feel of it. I really liked the accuracy, thin kerf, and how quickly it cut through hard oak. As someone mentioned the short tang in their review, I didn't find that as much of a problem, at least not yet. I bought both the rip and crosscut blades and will switch between them as I feel the handle is overpriced when compared with just buying the blades. SUPERIOR cutting!

If you shop Japanese pull saws, you know there are endless low-cost low-value products out there. Temple Temple Tool Co is not some reseller or mass producer. These saws were meticulously designed by people who use them every day. It really shows. They have mastered the low-cost aspect, while providing an excellent high quality tool. I have only made a few cuts with this bad boy, but I can already tell it's going to be a new favorite. I particularly enjoy all of the education they provide around each saw, and its recommended techniques. Would give the company and product 10 stars if I could!

Really nice and comfortable saw. Package was great, arrived on time, high quality. I was following Third Coast Craftsman for quite some time on YouTube, glad he started his own line of Japanese tools.

I have a set of 6 inches Gyokucho saw that I have been using since I started woodworking a year ago. Most of the blades worn out so I bought these as a replacement and of course for the look. I love the wood/metal/brass because I go well with my other tools.As soon as I use them, they became my favorite. The weight of this saw is well balanced, the blade is very sharp and it cuts very well. It is easier to cut since it is heavier than the 6 inches Gyokucho, thus I do not have to apply much force on it and the result is more precise cut.Got it 20% off so it is good price as well. Will come back for the blade later.

Great pull saw. Very well crafted and good quality saw and handle.

It's big, it cuts, it's nice

I have tried many western hand saws and they just don’t work for me. I thought I would try one of these pull saw style saws and I have to say, it just feels right. I can make a cut that is pencil thin, straight as an arrow and very low effort! I have only used this for half a dozen or so cuts in regular lumber so far but I intend to do dove tails and use them much more. These saws are a full package: easy, affordable and accurate

I was really excited when I unboxed the saw at my workbench, only to discover it was severely crooked and bent like a banana, from left to right. I made an attempt to straighten it and was somewhat successful, but couldn’t get it perfect. I think the brass back is very soft. The blade itself is superb, with beautifully sharpened and perfectly set teeth. I really wanted this saw, but I think the only flaw is the soft back. I can only hope the Third Coast Craftsman will consider putting steel backs on these dozukis sometime in the future. If that’s the case, I would be a very happy buyer again.
