These are incredibly fine saws which produces a near perfect finish. These saws have been finished by hand and taper ground to aid accuracy and speed when cutting, similar to a hand forged saw.
Hozohiki saws are the companion to dozukis. Hozohiki saws have rip teeth and cut the cheeks and ends of tenons, while dozuki cut the shoulders. Hozohiki can also be used to efficiently and accurately cut dovetails.
The 240mm saw is a scale appropriate for timber framing. For smaller scale furniture work, we recommend the 180mm saw.
Please note: these saws have been hardened and are only 0.2mm thick (roughly 30% thinner than comparable saws from Z-saw and the like). Avoid twisting or jerking the blade to prevent damage to the saw.
