Katz-Moses Woodworking is a proud distributor of Suizan Japanese saws. This is the folding Ryoba Double Sided Hand Saw. This is my (Jonathan’s) personal favorite for all around hand sawing. I really like the weight of the saw and the fact you can do rip cuts along the grain (large tooth side) and cross grain cuts (fine tooth side). It folds neatly away to protect the edge and save space on your bench. I also really like the thick, no slip polypropylene handle that adds weight to the saw, it’s razor thin kerf and sharp edge. Other saws have a bamboo handle which shows dirt easily and makes the saw significantly lighter.
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.
The Ryoba is my second Suizan, and they are excellent pull saws. They are of high quality, come very sharp, the handles feel comfortable, and the overall ergonomics are perfect. I have the flush cut sawas well, and would not hesitate to purchase either again.
CanadaI bought this saw after Jonathan published his blog about Japanese saws. Super happy with it and has changed my idea of what is possible with a saw. I realize what a sharp and true set of teeth matter. I particularly like the weight of the folding handle.
United StatesJust tested the saw on some rough cut red oak. Very clean cut easy to use.
United StatesI’ve loved it so far. Every piece of the tool is hardy and well made. The thumb release for the blade lock, is exceptionally sturdy and feels great under your thumb. It’s wide and hefty, feels like it will never break. The nut and bolt are both heavy duty and decorative. I love the way it moves and folds. And the blade itself cuts so efficiently and is a pleasure to use. The handle feels good in your hand. Overall, it seems like a really great tool to have, I’m happy with it. Can’t wait to use it more.
