Katz-Moses Woodworking is a proud distributor of Suizan Japanese saws. This is the folding 9.5 inch Dozuki or Dovetail saw which is my (Jonathan’s) personal favorite for cutting dovetails. I really like the weight of the saw. It folds neatly away to protect the edge and save space on your bench. I also really like the thick, no slip polypropylene handle, it’s razor thin kerf and sharp edge. Other saws have a bamboo handle which shows dirt easily and makes the saw significantly lighter and cut slower.
JAPANESE STEEL: All SUIZAN Japanese saws are made of top quality Japanese steel. It uses high quality Japanese steel, which makes cuts to be sharp.
MADE IN JAPAN: All SUIZAN products are manufactured in Japan by Japanese master craftsmen. Suizan has a 100 year old history of making Japanese hand tools.
Haven’t used the saw yet looking forward to quality looks excellent.
United StatesI’m still a beginner at cutting dovetails, but this tool has definitely helped. The kerf is incredible thin and making straight lines with a pull saw is much easier than a western saw.
United StatesThis is a great saw to cut dovetails. It is sizable, and highly recommend it. Suggest that little magnetic dovetail jig KM sells to go with it. Good combo!
CanadaI have two other Japanese Dozuki saws that are premium quality but this is now my favorite. First, it cuts the best, second, the heft of the handle really helps, and last, but not the least, the action of folding is sooo coool!
United StatesOverall, it is a very well made and excellent saw. The handle is comfortable as well. My only mention is that it is slower cutting due to its very fine teeth. I own other very good Dozuki saws, most with equally thin blades, but they cut considerably faster. For precision on smaller overalls, the slower cutting is very desirable, but for larger dovetails, this saw is slower cutting than I would prefer, but still does an excellent job with a fine kerf.. For that reason I would rate it at 4 1/2 stars if that was an option. I would still recommend this very well made saw. Cheers.
