Bessho Jiro's ryoba are handmade and have subtle differences that make the saw cut more precisely and easily: they are taper ground from the tang to the toe and from the blades to the center. The set of the teeth is also tapered, and the crosscut teeth have slightly less set than the rip teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese details ensure that the user can make cuts faster and more accurately than with a typical machine made replaceable blade saw.
