Jiro Bessho Kataba - Precision Handmade Japanese Pull Saw

Kataba are similar to panel saws and are designed for making deep cuts quickly. Unlike ryoba, they are dedicated to ripping or cross cutting. These saws are taper-ground from the tang to the toe of the blade, and are a constant width at the tang. These details aid in quickly making perfectly straight, narrow cuts.

Each saw is hardened and finished by hand and goes through multiple rounds of quality control and correction by traditional craftsmen, ensuring accuracy and a finish only found in hand forged saws.
