Its universal tooth pattern combines crosscut and rip-cut teeth, allowing the saw to cut efficiently across the grain, with the grain and at diagonal angles. The longer 265 mm blade and moderately aggressive tooth pattern make it an effective hand saw for wood when dimensioning stock or cutting medium to large joinery.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\"Kataba\" translates to \"single edge,\" a design favored for deep cuts because there is no opposing toothed edge to create interference within the kerf. While a double-edge saw offers multiple cutting options, the Kataba's single-edge configuration moves freely through deeper cuts, making it a strong choice for tenons and other larger joinery work. The 14.4 TPI universal teeth provide a balance of cutting speed and surface quality without requiring separate rip and crosscut saws.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe blade is manufactured from SK85 Japanese tool steel and features impulse-hardened teeth for long-lasting sharpness and wear resistance. A replaceable blade design extends the useful life of the saw while premium brass hardware provides secure attachment. The dark-stained Japanese Wingnut handle is wrapped with natural rattan for a comfortable grip and increased control throughout the cut.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eExpertly crafted in Japan, this hand blade saw reflects Temple Tool Co.'s blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and refined Western styling.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal tooth pattern combines rip-cut and crosscut performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-edge design moves freely in deeper cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for cutting with the grain, across the grain and diagonally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective for stock preparation and medium to large joinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSK85 Japanese tool steel blade with impulse-hardened teeth for extended cutting life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaceable blade design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass hardware secures blade to handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapanese Wingnut handle with dark brown finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural rattan wraps provide grip and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 9.5\" (265 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 23.2\" (590 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTooth Type: Universal Cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTooth Pitch: 14.4 TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.019\" (0.5 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKerf: 0.03\" (0.8 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: SK85 Japanese tool steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Material: Solid brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Japanese Wingnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry Of Origin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e(1) Kataba Pull Saw, Medium Universal Teeth – 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Temple Tool Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50101179547786,"sku":"300140","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/1711\/1178\/files\/300140_000_001.jpg?v=1787933456","url":"https:\/\/www.woodcraft.com\/products\/temple-tool-co-medium-universal-teeth-kataba-pull-saw-9-5","provider":"Woodcraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
