The Hikimawashi Nokogiri Keyhole Saw is a traditional Japanese pull saw designed for controlled cuts in tight areas where larger saws are difficult to maneuver. Originally developed for bonsai work, this compact saw combines a narrow blade profile with a fine 16 TPI tooth pattern that delivers a clean cut and excellent directional control.
A wooden handle crafted from Zelkova (Zelkova serrata), a prized Japanese hardwood, provides a comfortable grip with a natural feel in hand. Brass rivets secure the handle scales, creating a sturdy connection that stands up to repeated use. The pull-stroke cutting action helps keep the blade under tension during the cut, improving tracking and reducing effort compared to conventional push saws.
Its compact 3-3/8" blade reaches into confined spaces and makes it easier to start and guide detailed cuts. Whether used for woodworking, craft projects or general fine-cutting tasks, this Japanese pull saw offers the control and accuracy associated with traditional Japanese hand tools.
