Okay, so I've used a lot of different "western" saws, but I have never ventured into Japanese style saws. I kept seeing YouTube videos singing the praises of these "pull saws," so I thought that I would give it a try and chose this one from Amazon because it seemed low in price and had good reviews.I must say, for the price, it is everything that it promises to be. It is sharp, comes with a blade guard on each side, it assembles easily and is comfortable to use. I'm a little older, so I'm not going to squat down on a low bench or use those short sawhorses that sit inches above the ground, which makes the long handle a little less useful to me. I still find it comfortable to use on a high bench, though I'm probably choking up on the handle more than I should. I should point out that this is really a two-handed kind of tool. I've seen some videos where craftsmen go at it with just one hand; I don't think it can be controlled very well that way. I may be wrong.The blade is nice and wide, which helps make the cuts straight, assuming you get them started straight. On my western saw I usually began with a couple of pull strokes, guiding the blade with my left thumb. Then, held the board with my left hand while I pushed to cut. So, I tried a similar approach with this saw, except beginning with a push. This works best if you use very light pressure. Then once the cut is started, you're probably going to want both hands on the handle, so you need to have the board well clamped or secured on the short sawhorses with your weight, use your favorite method.The only weird thing comes with a long cut (a rip cut for example) where the teeth on the back of the blade start to enter the cut that you made (kerf). The cross-cut teeth have a wider "set" (resulting in a wider kerf), so the longer you can avoid having them enter the cut, the better. The length of the blade comes into play here; the longer the blade, the more freedom you have to change the angle of attack. I think this particular saw will suit my needs, because if I'm doing a really long cut, I'm opting for a power tool.My Western saws have a much wider kerf. I suppose the blade needs to be wider so that it is stiff enough to cut on the "push" stroke without folding. That's a good argument for using this saw, that narrower kerf means less waste and (IMHO) leads to a smoother cut. Of course, my KERYE saw is new and sharp, the smoothness of the cut may change with use.Overall, I am very pleased with the quality, accuracy and ergonomic features of this saw and look forward to becoming more skilled in its use.

This is a great saw, thin due to cutting on the pull stroke, allows for very easy straight line cutting with almost no material loss, maybe 1/32 or less of board is turned into dust.Has nice covers to prevent the cutting tips from getting damaged (or damaging you) when not needed. I'm making a canvas roll pouch to hold all of the saws as they are rather long when the blade is installed.Fit and finish are excellent as is ease of use. If you have historically been bad at hand sawing, give this a try, you'll stop using a power saw for many applications.

Great pull saw. Works well for what I needed. Extremely sharp. Has cross cut side and rip side.

I needed a new hand saw and turned to an old friend of several decades. He is a Professional Engineer, one of this nation’s most outstanding Mechanical Engineers, a private pilot, an avid fisherman (both fresh water AND deep sea) and a woodworking aficionado. All of his advice and suggestions have been immeasurably valuable over these many years. For my choice of saw, he recommended this 9.5 Inch KERYE Japanese Pull Saw.I had never heard of such a saw, so he acquainted me with it. I ordered it and received it 3 days later, and I immediately put it to use.I found the pull saw a somewhat different experience than a “push saw†with which I have been acquainted since childhood. I found the adaptation to be easy and quick. The double edge with different tooth-pitch was something I thought was very creative and practical.My first use was a pleasure to be sure. I was using a miter box and found the cut to be precise and repetitive. Because of the double edge with the different pitched teeth, this saw can do rip cuts AND cross cuts. The blade was sufficiently firm to allow me to exert my force during the pull movement – NOT during the push movement.I also learned from my friend that it is a good idea to protect all such tools from rust. Too often I have seen saws and other such tools in a shop where the tool had not been used in a while, and they developed rust. He suggested that I use 000 or 0000 steel wool on the metal of my new saw to remove anything on the blade’s surface and follow up with a non-silicone wax.Note:There are a number of silicone-free waxes to be found. A couple of suggestions from my friend are paste wax made by SC Johnson or Finishing Paste made by Minwax. Always verify any product you choose as silicone-free.He has done so for many years and has no rust issues. (BTW, there is a good reason for using wax without silicone. Transferring silicone from your tool to your workpiece can cause finishing issues with your workpiece. Google it and you can confirm the advice from my friend.)I can recommend this tool quite highly, and I consider myself very fortunate to have such great guidance from someone so knowledgeable. You too can gain this knowledge from him through this posting.I hope this helps someone.
