The Temple Tool Co. Ryoba 9.5" Double Edge Japanese Pull Saw combines two essential cutting functions in a single blade, making it a versatile hand saw for sizing stock and cutting joinery with precision. This full-size Japanese pull saw features dedicated rip teeth on one edge and crosscut teeth on the other, allowing clean cuts along or across the grain without switching tools.
"Ryoba" translates to "double-edged," a design that has made this style of Japanese hand saw a staple in woodworking shops for generations. The 240 mm SK85 Japanese tool steel blade delivers fast, aggressive cutting performance in both softwoods and hardwoods. Carefully tuned tooth geometry and progressive rip tooth spacing improve cutting speed while maintaining control through the cut.
The pull-stroke design reduces blade flex and helps produce accurate results with less effort. One edge is optimized for ripping with the grain while the opposite edge handles smooth crosscuts, making it an efficient choice for breaking down stock, trimming parts to size and cutting medium to large joinery. A dark-stained Japanese Wingnut handle wrapped with natural rattan provides a secure grip, while brass hardware allows straightforward blade replacement.
Expertly crafted in Japan, Temple Tool Co. pairs traditional Japanese toolmaking with refined Western styling to create tools that look distinguished and perform with authority in the shop.
