A versatile general purpose folding Japanese saw with quick and easy one hand opening – just touch the blade tip onto a suitable surface and lightly press. A two-step angle adjustment allows the blade to be securely adjusted in an upward position for improved access while maintaining grip.
The fine Komame double edge crosscut teeth are impulse hardened and the complete blade surface is treated with a special coating that prevents rust and minimises wood sap build-up, ensuring long-lasting use and smooth cuts every time.
For smooth, precise cuts, maintain an angle of about 10° between the saw blade and the material but for thinner materials like plywood, reduce the angle to around 5° to ensure a clean cut.
If you’re not planning to use the saw for an extended period, lightly oil the blade to keep it in optimal condition and store it in a dry place to prevent rust.
