Razorsaw

Details

Gyokucho® Ryoba Razorsaw No. 660 is a double-edged saw, which means one cutting edge has rip teeth and the opposite edge has crosscut teeth. This saw is incredibly useful as a general-purpose shop saw as it can handle anything from cutoff work to ripping a panel. Impulse hardened, super sharp teeth are durable and make short work of any task, and an adjustable pivot point permits the blade to be angled in relation to the handle, which is useful in tight spaces or for overhead work. Saw is fitted with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) coated handle for improved grip in all conditions. The foremost manufacturer of Japanese saws today, Gyokucho has pioneered the processes of stamping and flattening the saw blade and grinding, setting and impulse hardening (one tooth at a time) the saw teeth, while committing to quality control through ongoing inspection that ensures a consistently superior product. There is no finer saw on the market today.

Features:

Adjustable pivot point located in between the blade and blade’s tang that permits the blade and handle to be angled to facilitate cutting in cramped positions
All blades are coated with the latest in anti-corrosion technology products
Comfortable, ergonomic TPE handle (Power Grip) improves handling and comfort

My go-to everyday saw

After using a Gyokucho Japanese dovetail saw and loving it I got this saw on sale last at Woodcraft. It’s fabulous! The thin kerf and razor sharpness makes for fast cutting and the pull stroke cut is more accurate than western style handsaws. I use it often for both rip and crosscut cuts instead of having to set up power tools. Two hints: set a kerf on your cut line with the saw itself or with a marking knife and the blade won’t wander giving straight cuts, even rips; let the saw do the work rather than pressure or force- the blades are thinner which gives less friction but if it binds on the return stroke from too much pressure you can bend or crack the blade (don’t ask how I know). . When on sale I recommend getting more than one as its cheaper than the replacement blades. I’ve already gotten them as gifts for fellow woodworkers to spread the pleasure of good tools!
