A professional quality ryoba saw, hand made by 3rd generation Mitsukawa. The blade comes with 0.34mm kerf and crosscuts like a dozuki (dovetail) saw without the depth limitation of a backsaw.
This saw is perfect intorduction to Japanese hand made saws.

*The blade is delicate, meaning the blade is extremely thin to create a fine kerf and uses a hard steel which can make the blade brittle. Therefore, please take care when using the saw to prevent unnecessary warp which can cause the blade to snap. You still move your saw back and force, but lift the blade slightly when going foward.
