SUIZAN Dozuki Dovetail Saw 6" Crosscut - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Handsaw Woodworking Tools

This was the answer to all of my workshop problems for a sharp saw that took little effort to cut. The quality of the saw is very evident from the time I first started using it. The handle is wood/ bamboo and it’s comfortable to use for cutting for a long time. The blade is extremely sharp and is very thin and fine. The blade was so good that it actually cut through a piece of brass tubing although I don’t really recommend using it for that. I think that as long as you take good care of it that it should last for many years.

This is my first Japanese saw so this may be true of the manufacturer and the style. The saw exceeded my already inflated expectations. Sharp, light and feels good in my hand. I went straight to a piece of poplar for a set of cuts and I was very impressed with the ease and accuracy to cut right to the line. Did a 5 minute dovetail drill (thanks G Rogowski!) and it was so much easier than I expected. The kerf is about the same as my Lie Nielsen and on a side by side I couldn’t see a difference. One thing - it isn’t a speedy cut - my LN cut in less strokes but more difficult for me to start. Extremely pleased on what is great quality at a value price.

First, let me say, I am by no means used to working with wood or saws. That being said, I learned something that I wish I had researched better. This saw will not saw thru plywood. The way that plywood is generally made, it has no actual grain rendering this saw useless. My mistake and no reflection on the saw. Recently I have been trying to remove old dead lilac trees. They range from a couple inches to about five inches in diameter. My neighbor lent me his saw (the bow type). I'm not very strong so cutting through the thick lilac wood (I swear, it's like iron wood) took forever and damn near killed me. So I thought I'd try this saw. For us amateurs, I really couldn't tell the difference in regard to it sawing on the "pull" and not the "push". However, I did keep it in mind so I wouldn't ruin the saw. I really liked the handle of this saw. It was much more comfortable in my hand while exerting myself than the bow shaped saw. I picked a bad day to do this, it rained the night before so I was able to cut thru a 2" piece of lilac. But anything bigger just took too much effort. I'll try again after the wood dries out. I did have excellent results using it to cut a nuisance maple growing too near the house. It was probably about 3 yrs old and 10 ft +. It wasn't very big in circumference, maybe a couple inches. The saw cut thru this "like butter"! Overall, for cutting any type of natural wood I would choose this saw over the western style. The compact size helped me a lot with grip and leverage. And the lilacs I'm trying to clean up are packed in a tight group, which would be difficult to cut using a standard American saw. I'm looking forward to giving those tough old lilac branches another shot when they dry out. Okay, just an update. I went after those dead lilac trees again after they dried out. They were a good 4 inches across or more. Took a little muscle on my weakling behalf, but worked well! These are great saws!

Edit: in my original review I mentioned that I had reached out to support about the bent saw. They were very easy to work with and shipped out a replacement same day - insane customer service. The saw itself is great and I’ve already used it to test cut some stuff and do a few dovetailed parts and it works a treat, perfectly straight cuts and the teeth are just aggressive enough. Excellent buy.

good saw.

Cuts like a dream. Clean and quick.

This saw cuts well, is very sharp and is comfortable in the hand.

I've been using this saw a lot since I got it a few weeks ago and have been thrilled. I much prefer the Japanese pull saws and needed one that I could use for more precise cutting and joinery. This has more than met any expectations I had. The rigid back keeps the blade aligned perfectly and makes straight, precise cuts easy. I prefer the shorter blade because I find it easier to control given that I'm not building large furniture. I've used it to cut tenons, dove tails and any small cutting job not worth taking to a power saw. Mainly on walnut, maple, Baltic birch ply, cherry, poplar and red oak. The cuts are extremely clean and have required very little cleaning in cross or ripping. I cut down 1/8in thick pieces of veneer and it handled the thicker 6/4 cut offs I tested it on no problem either. Very pleased with the saw and the follow up emails give me a good impression of the service I'd receive should a problem arise. It's the second saw I've bought from this seller and brand and they've been great for $15-20 less than what I'd pay at bricks and mortar or woodworking websites for the same quality.

Works well, thin kerf is great

Quality, sharp, well packaged, the perfect pull saw for fine work

Excellent quality. Lives up to the reputation of the "Made in Japan" label.

他のレビュー通りでとても切りやすい。 歯厚が薄くても背金で補強されているのでブレずに綺麗に切れます。 当方の使い方では切りっぱなしでもそのまま使えるほど、とても良い鋸です。

Corte limpio y exacto, tanto madera dura roble, encino, y madera suave, lo recomiendo 100%
