Japanese saws have really taken hold in our part of the world over the last generation or so-even in shops largely stocked with traditional ''Western'' tools, it's not unusual to see a dozuki saw hanging within easy reach of the bench. This Piercing Saw is a unique take on the classic dozuki: the unusual ''woodpecker'' tooth at the tip of the blade is used to score a line before using the saw to cut panels or veneers, but it also actually allows you to start a cut in the middle of a panel. The removable and replaceable 18tpi blade is only .3mm thick; the steel spine secures the blade and provides extra support during cuts in thin material where a steady hand is paramount. Made in Japan, this is a fantastic tool for furniture restoration, cutting intricate joinery, and so much more, and it's a great value for the price. Features a rattan-wrapped handle for long-lasting comfort. The length of the blade is 6''.
