SUIZAN Flush Cut Saw 7" - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Handsaw Woodworking Tools

I needed this tool to cut 2x1 pieces of wood. There is a different blade on each side. The top side is for soft wood. I haven't used that yet. I only used the bottom side. It works so well. I'm very happy with this purchase. The handle grip fits well in the hand. It cuts so beautifully and does not leave splinters. It is very sharp and even though it seems thin, it doesn't warp and make uneven cuts when trying to saw the wood through. All my other tools are worn down and takes forever to cut. I'm so glad I got this because it cuts my time in half! The price Is reasonable for something made in Japan. The way you use this is to pull towards you when sawing. That is the dominant motion, then back and forth. Because of the pull method, it works better than the push type of saws. It gives more control and accuracy as a pull method. You should definitely try this type of saw. I know they sell different lengths. For me, 6" is the right size for me. 6" is only the blade part, not including the handle length.

I'm in my 60's. I have small hands that aren't very strong. They've never been strong. Jar openers are my hands' friends. Using larger saws often results in me screwing up the cut as the saw tries to bounce all over the place. I decided to purchase a Japanese-made pull saw (avoiding the Chinese-made cheaper varieties). The blade is so thin it bends with ease and looking at it without trying it, you'd think it's not going to be able to do much. So far I've cut and shaped PVC trim to fit perfectly and thicker aluminum trim for the bathroom shower door frame WITH EASE AND ACCURACY! To cut the shower frame aluminum U accurately, I simply used 2 bands of painter's tape around it with a thin line between. The saw stayed on point and my cut looked as clean as the factory cut! This saw is SHARP! It's easy to use (only pull toward you, never push). It is SO comfortable in my hands and my arms aren't getting tired when doing cuts. It seems very versatile as far as what you can cut with it. I'm SUPER impressed. This is going to make small repair jobs around the house much easier and quicker. Wish I'd bought it 20 years ago! Japan, you rock!

This little saw is phenomenal! I am a real rookie at DIY projects, but I recently needed to use dowels to fill holes in a cabinet. I bought this saw to cut the dowels off after the glue set. I have never sawed anything!! I used this little saw and it worked so well. I didn't have to sand to get a flush, smooth surface. I know it was a small project, but it was a big accomplishment for me.

Exactly what I thought it to be. Easy to use.

Dose what I intended it do. To cut off dowels. Price was right. Much better than using a hacksaw blade. I can recommend this product.

you know, like your typical American-made hand saw. If you manhandle this, it will bend. It is, however, very forgiving on the learning curve.I’d wanted one of these for a LONG time, I thought, and for the price, needing something to make flush cuts in wooden plugs - and a LOT of trim/molding I found out later - I thought I’d buy one.First off, this is SHARP! First day, right out of the package, I somehow managed to cut my palm on the blade and I didn’t even feel it, just noticed red on my hand. Give this a LOT of respect.The cut on PULL design took about five seconds to get used to. It’s counterintuitive to how western saws work but once you use it, you’ll wonder why ALL saws aren’t made this way. Push-pull, different philosophies, same net result - this just seems easier.What I find this most useful for is making very fine, very thin cuts in wood trim and molding where the use of a handsaw would be awkward, or a chopsaw not giving me the fine control I need for smaller cuts or on smaller pieces of wood.This is very comfortable in the hand and makes very accurate cuts - the kerf is so fine I have to get higher power reading glasses to make sure I’m cutting ON or next to a 0.5mm mechanical pencil line - not that a cut that thin would make that much difference in fitting on the kind of stuff I work on, but I like to know where I’m cutting.This is small enough, light enough, to fit in your tool bag and get lost in there.One tip, and I don’t know for sure if this is stainless or not, but I folded a piece of paper in the plastic tube it came packaged in then soaked it with an anti-rust product. Cheap insurance and less chance of the teeth getting dinged/dented/dulled.One of my favorite tools now. Collect the set, save ‘em, trade ‘em!

Cuts quickly and stays sharp.

I bought the handleless and made a handle out of beech. Fine cut and sharp. Weight and balance are nice, cut strokes effective. It works good on both sides, not too big or small for smaller projects. Very ‘handtoolesque’ I made a word.
