Set of our ever popular Gyokucho Folding Fugaku Saws which includes 240mm Crosscut Dozuki and Kataba.
Dozuki
Provides the best of both worlds - the efficiency and accuracy of Japanese saws coupled with the solidity and feel of a western backsaw.
Used for cutting joinery in frames and cabinets this blade has crosscut teeth and a rounded tip of rip teeth designed for starting cuts in the middle of the panel. It is ideal for halving joints, mitres, laps and saddles, as well as cutting components accurately to length.
The spine is slightly heavier than the ones fitted to standard Gyokucho saws, which along with the weight of the folding mechanism and the solid beech handle gives the saw a sturdy but balanced feel.
Kataba
The Super Hard Kataba is a backless saw with a stiffer blade, more aggressive teeth and a short reinforced metal spine that lets you make deep straight cuts into composites, hardwoods, sheet materials and thicker timber.
The solid beech handles are carefully crafted from selected quartersawn timber, for stability, and finished with a satin Japanese lacquer. To make sure there is no chance of the saw folding up in use, it is locked into the extended position with a sprung lever, much like that of a lock knife.
When the time eventually comes to change the blade, the crosshead screws are Japanese industrial standard (JIS), although they look like a PH No.2 you will actually get better engagement with a PH No.1.
