A pair of Shogun saws that will cover a multitude of workshop tasks at a special promotional price - saving 15%.

This Shogun dozuki is the Japanese equivalent of a backsaw, the supporting spine and pullsaw action allow the use of a really thin sawplate, in the case, just one quarter of a mm. With the thin blade and minimal set the saw kerf produced is exceptionally fine, so there is less material to remove, and for very little effort you get an extremely accurate, exceptionally smooth, dead straight cut.

The Shogun Precision Dozuki is ideal for dovetails, small tenons and other fine joinery. The blade is a little deeper than most, which comes in handy for occasional deeper cuts, or if you want to use a guide block to help place the start the cut. Performance is optimised for harder softwoods and mild hardwoods like walnut and mahogany. With care it can also be used on harder timbers and exotics, just take your time and let the saw do the work.

The Shogun kataba is a backless style of Japanese saw designed for deep cuts - large sections, sheet materials etc. Rip cuts, cross cuts, slant cuts, green wood, dry wood, sheet materials, all dispatched with efficiency and ease.

This Kataba is fast, even by Japanese pullsaw standards, with an aggressive 1.5mm set and periodic pairs of rip teeth that act as rakers in green or oily timbers. The resulting efficient waste clearance makes it easy to keep on track - even when ripping down 8 x 4 sheets.
