• 2-step deep teeth for scraping out wood chips to prevent clogging.
• Precision ground teeth by diamond Borazon wheel to sharpen the teeth on 3 sides. 
• Electrical-pulse hardened teeth to maintain sharpness up to 3 times longer than conventional saws.
• The most noticeable design feature of a Japanese saw is that the teeth are angled backwards towards the handle. When in use, the cutting action is on the pull-stroke hence Japanese saws are often referred to as pull saws. The saw is designed to cut as you draw it through the timber, totally the opposite to a traditional western saw.
