Gyokucho

Gyokucho invented the world’s first replaceable-blade Japanese saw in the 1970s and continues to set the standard for innovation, precision and quality in premium Japanese woodworking saws.

Every Gyokucho saw blade undergoes a specialised electroless nickel plating process that creates an exceptionally smooth surface. This advanced treatment provides outstanding corrosion resistance, reduces the build-up of pitch and tree resin and creates a reflective finish that helps woodworkers achieve highly accurate cut alignment. For fine woodworking, cabinetmaking and joinery, this level of precision makes Gyokucho saws a trusted choice among professionals.

The teeth of Gyokucho Japanese pull saws are hardened using an advanced form of impulse hardening. Only the very tips of the teeth are hardened to well above RC67 - harder than a standard file - while the core of each tooth remains flexible for maximum durability and shock resistance. This precise differential hardening process delivers razor-sharp cutting performance, extended edge retention and the clean, effortless cuts that discerning woodworkers demand.

This meticulous engineering is the reason Gyokucho has earned its reputation for producing some of the finest Japanese woodworking hand saws available worldwide.

With careful daily use in a woodworking workshop, a Gyokucho replaceable saw blade can typically last 5 to 7 years, making it an exceptional long-term investment for serious woodworkers seeking reliability, accuracy and superior cutting performance.
