Ryoba Double Edge Saw 7" - Japanese Pullsaw Hand Saws Wood Cutting

I use this in my yard to cut small woody overgrowth, limbs etc from easy to reach heights. It works great, easy to hold and super sharp, cuts right through limbs, small trees, vines, etc. Very Light weight and maneuverable- use this before i have to pull out the gas powered pole saws, chain saws, hedge trimmers. Love it and always wanted one. Do not regret purchasing and probably will purchase more in the near future -maybe as gifts as well. I cannot say for sure how long it holds up, but I hope it last a long time. Very convenient to use and prefer these over hand held clippers, pruners, loppers...

This is the best addition to my worshop in years and I’m going to slowly buy the rest of the pull saws in the collection. The weight, balance and quality are excellent and the blade is unbelievably sharp with a very thin kerf. As a lefthanded guy, this is the easiest handsaw I’ve ever used. People are probably scratching their heads on that but here’s why. Right handers draw lines away from the body and lefties draw lines toward the body. I have always hated handsaws because pushing away straight, even with my right hand isn’t a natural action and I bind it because I naturally put weight on the pull. Today I made 10 perfectly accurate cuts completely effortlessly with my Suizan pull saw right out of the very nice packaging. This blade is completely worth the price for the quality. It’s also very nice looking. I so wish I would have bought one years ago.

This is the first Japanese saw I have ever owned, but it will not be the last. I could not believe how well it performs, rip or crosscut, as I have the double edge, it is flawless. It wades through every cut like no saw I’ve ever used. I needed to rip a piece about 24 inches and because of the lateness of the hour, I didn’t want to disturb family or neighbors with my table saw so I grabbed one of my conventional saws and ripped the piece. The saw would stick and hang occasionally, And it drifted a bit away from my cut line but it was on the waste side. I had not used my Ryoba as of yet and decided to give it the same job, but it is a rather small saw so I was skeptical. In less than a minute it had changed my mind, no sticking, no hanging, no drift, it cut straight and true and did it in less time than the conventional. Very clean cutting. I am probably going to have to replace the blade before long because I reach for it now for every job, though I really don’t know what kind of mileage these saws get, If anyone knows I would appreciate the info. My daughter asked me what I want for Christmas, the Kataba 10 inch crosscut and the Dozuki 9 1/2 inch dovetail was my response, can’t wait till I can try them out, let you know how they perform.

This is a very nice saw, great size (bigger than it looks online). Blade is very narrow and sharp, cuts through 2x4 with ease. I chose this because I needed to cut through thicker material, verses the type that has reinforcement along the top to keep the blade straight. That makes cutting straight more challenging because the blade easily bends to fit whatever angle you are on, but that makes straight cuts more challenging. Best to have one of each :-)

So many of you who have ever bought a miter box on amazon like the box but if it came with a saw, you feel like you wasted your money. The same goes for me. Instead of online I bought one of the popular on here Stanley miter box with saw. Oh man, no lie, the saw is like trying to cut wood with a butter knife. But I head read about these fine cut Japanese saws with great reviews. So I ordered one and it is night and day. I am currently cutting 1/4" thick boards for a set of speakers stands I am making (facia for the main stands). With the PROVIDED saw, was taking from 20 or more seconds to cut through a board (which is actually quite thin). Enter this Japanese saw and wham...3 to 5 seconds and cut. I made short work of the project. My only mistake (so you dont have to) is get the 9" not the 7". The 7" works but just barely so I have to watch I dont make too long a stroke and pop out of the guide in the miter box. 9" would be perfect, You wont regret this purchase and you dont have to use it in a miter box. Love that its two sided with a rough cut side and fine cut side

This is a great saw. I use it for cutting off dowel plugs and recently it was the best solution for coping MDF crown moulding along with a grinder/flapdisk. Jigsaw blades would just gum up with the wood fibers. Many of the negative reviews are people that don't understand this is a PULL saw. They complain it bent the first time they used. it. You CANNOT bend this if you use it correctly. The force is on the pull, not the push. Second, many complain that the blade rusts. The saw says "made in Japan", so I'm thinking this is good quality steel (seems like it). It's probably good to protect it with wax or something similar. People tend to be used to stainless steel, etc., which won't rust but also won't hold its sharpness. Finally, many 1 star reviews are people complaining it isn't good on tree branches. It's not made for that use and those people should be stared at with deep contempt, while shaking your head and kicking dirt in their general direction. Overall, this saw is a pleasure to use. I've only used the less aggressive side, and can still cut through a 2x4 (accurately) in about 5 strokes. I'm probably going to buy more and give as gifts at Christmas. This sounds like a paid review, but I assure you it is not. See my other reviews.

I've been experimenting with Japanese woodworking for a couple of years now. I am not an expert, but I have used a number of different saws from a number of different manufacturers. Thus far, none have disappointed and this is no exception. There is a difference between the various saws; as a general rule, the smaller the blade, the finer the kerf. So, if you have the 9 1/2" ryoba from Suizan and you need something similar but for finer work or smaller stock, this is what you want. The kerf isn't as fine as you'll get from the dozuki, but it has rip teeth, which is something you won't find in a Suizan dozuki, and it has functionally unlimited cutting depth if you need to make a particularly long cut for some reason, like cutting long tenons or ripping thin planks off long and think stock. I also like this blade attachment system better than the full-size, as it is completely tool-free. And the plastic handle might put some off, but it works just fine.

Excelente producto!!

This was my first time using a Japanese pull saw. However, the skill and muscle memory associated with using a Western push saw lends itself naturally to succeeding off the bat with this pull saw. This 5-inch Ryoba made short work of my sheesham wood study table. The quality of the cut was astonishing. In fact, I managed to saw off the legs of the hard wood table within minutes. But most surprisingly, the precision and consistency of the cuts allowed the table to sit true without the need for any shimming. I'll be buying the Dozuki saw as well to transition completely to Japanese pull saws.

DIY用に購入しました。ノコギリを使うのは久しぶりですが、とてもよく切れ、はかどります。切り終わりの刃の抜けもスムーズです。まだ細かいほうの刃しか使っておらず、もう片ほうを使う機会がないかもしれません。

Because of this saw, I was able to cut the legs on my wooden stool. It was so easy and precise. I have been wanting to do it for 20+ years and now I can sit under the counter without my tighs touching the top of the counter. I also had to replace some of the laminate floor and I was able to cut it without any problems. It was great the saw, coping saw, and chisel. No fraying, clean cut. The floor looks beautiful. I can't wait to use it for another project. It works great!

Muy buen producto

very good quality
