SUIZAN Ryoba Double Edge Saw 9.5" Assembly ver - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Handsaw Woodworking Tools

This is my 3rd different saw from Suizan. After trying a variety I can safely say this blade simply does it better. The nadle is long and easy to grip and the blade cuts like butter on hardwood. As someone who enjoys cutting dovetail but always seems to struggle with getting clean easy cuts this saw has been a massive helper and greatly improved my cuts. The saw is well structured, sharp, and meets the functional needs to be a great tool. I also like that the blade width isn’t too wide.

I suggest saving $10 and buying the unassembled option. However, this saw is worth several times the price. I needed to cut through round log furniture to make modifications. After watching two videos for ten minutes, I made near perfect cuts without breaking a sweat. Over the next few weeks, I used the saw dozens of times to restore furniture that had been in storage, all because the saw is so accurate and so easy to use. The high quality of this saw is impossible to describe, a great value!

The SUIZAN Ryoba Double Edge Saw is an outstanding tool for anyone who enjoys woodworking. It’s incredibly sharp right out of the box, and the pull‑saw design makes cuts smooth, clean, and easy to control. The double‑edge feature is a huge plus — one side for rip cuts and the other for crosscuts — giving you a lot of versatility in a single tool. The handle feels comfortable and well‑balanced, even during longer projects. Overall, this saw delivers excellent craftsmanship and performance. A great addition to any workshop, whether you’re a beginner or experienced woodworker.

My old flat saws had finally given up a busy life, so reluctantly I ordered this Suizan Ryoba Double edge saw. This thing is a cutting beast. I've clung to my old saws like lifelong friends and at 70 years old and doing woodworking for most of them, I realized I've been putting forth way too much effort in sawing with my badly worn flat saws. When I put the Suizan to wood, I was put back at how effortless and swiftly the saw went through hardwood. My old saws were beginning to drift off square a tad, but the new Suizan Ryoba slipped throught the wood with ease and perfectly square every cut. This saw is a value, is extremely sharp and cuts true. Buy one of these things. I think it deserves a Haiku, Saw saw so swiftly Dust of wood to earth raining Awe the masters hand.

Good saw, but it broke after about 1 year of ocasional use. Standard pull saw length. Very well sharpened. one side quickly saws through rip cuts, while the other side makes crosscuts easy. powerful teeth. It worked well before it broke. the handle is standard and ergonomic. super easy to assemble. great for a beginner , but if your using it frequently you might go for a more high end model.

Couldn't be happier with this! It cut through bolivian rosewood like butter! It's a good beginner handsaw and is very easy to use. It's comfortable and has a nice light weight to allow longer use! The teeth are sharp, and exact, the handle is light, and the assembly process is easy. One screw, and done! Functions exactly like you'd think. The handles allow easy grip. The length is as advertised with a 9.5 inch blade. Would easily buy again, and will buy another Suizan product!

Makes tough cutting easy. The magic is in the thin-ness of the blade, and how the proper cutting angle is built into the (flared) design. Saved my workpieces and hours of work. When you get it started and let the saw do the cutting, the blade sort of sings and makes a whispering sound like you're cutting through paper instead of hardwood.

I've been using this saw for about 3 years now. Not heavily: I only manage about an hour of woodworking a day, and most of that is not sawing. My understanding is that the teeth start breaking after about a year if you're using it seriously. It's wonderful at cutting thinner wood with easy grain. It does a good job at cutting joinery. I've invested in a more expensive saw for cutting tenons and dovetails. That other saw is faster, but I think this one's more accurate. It gets bogged down in thick boards, especially the ones with messy grain. Ripping 4/4 hickory was miserable. It took forever, and the saw kept veering off the line. This was one of the first things I ever tried to cut by hand, and I haven't tried it again...this could totally have my lack of skills, or it may just be that trying to saw that board will always be awful. Cross-cutting a standard construction 4x4 takes forever. This could be because my saw is old and getting dull. I think it's more likely that it's because this saw is designed for fine work. I think that there isn't enough gullet to deal with boards that thick. I am not criticizing this saw at all. These sorts of things are just engineering trade-offs. I'll totally buy another when mine wears out. That's the other down-side of these saws. Because of the way the teeth are hardened, you can't sharpen them. Then again, the teeth are so specialized that you really need to be an expert to be able to sharpen the ones where it's possible.
