SUIZAN Flush Cut Saw 120mm - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Ryoba Double Edge Handsaw Woodworking Tools

Finishing off a pocket-socket table, I needed something to flush cut the dowels I inserted to cover the screw holes. This does the job perfectly - sharp, and with hard/softwood sides to use which are equally effective. The blade flex also means I can get in close in tricky tight corners. Now a much loved addition to my toolset.

Several months ago I under took a improvement project of replacing my banister, spindles, rails and so on. This saw was perfect for the precision cuts required and for flush cutting dowel into Newell posts, amazingly so. Double sided saw with one side for soft wood and one for hard wood. Very easy to use, comfortable to use also, a good size handle makes it less annoying and tiresome to cut and being a fine saw the blade flexes nicely but never gets damaged so is sturdy under pressure and it comes at a good price, a price I think is well worth it. I highly recommend it.

A good quality saw, but very bendy. I've just done a few dovetails and IMHO this saw isn't for beginners - it cuts very accurately but you do need to be careful not to let it bend it during sawing - let the saw do the work (slowly), remember it's pull saw and don't apply any pressure - it takes patience but it's excellent quality and does the job.

Nice saw, clean cut and effective

Absolutely love this saw. I will be buying a bigger version at some point. This cuts and leaves a smooth edge, it's very precise and no messy shavings, just a bit of dust when soft wood is cut. So far I've built ceiling to floor clothes hangers with shelves and a 4 tier shelf unit for my games consoles using just this saw. It's so easy to use. I find this type of saw a bit expensive but in comparison to other models out there this is value for your money. My only gripe would be the flimsyness of the blade, which I know it has to be, but I have almost snapped it once or twice. If you are into a bit of DIY woodworking then this is a must have for your tool box..

A very good saw for woodworking that can cut very thin slices of wood.

If we valued tools by their weight, then this would probably be the most expensive hand tool in my workshop, but to me it's worth more than it's weight in gold! It was my introduction to Japanese saws which cut on the pull rather than the push stroke and I would never go back to Western saws again. This little saw is one of my favourite tools. It's sharp and accurate and its flexible blade means it can go where other saws can't without leaving a mark on the workpiece. Trimming dowels, fine tuning cuts made with bigger saws, and tidying up joints and end cuts are just some of the uses I've put it to. its double edged blade deals equally well with both hard and soft woods. I don't know how this Suizan saw compares to equivalent saws from other Japanese makers, but as far as I'm concerned I can't see how this could be bettered.

Bought one of these Japanese-type pullsaws as I'm doing a lot more DIY and quite often the usual saws just, ahem, don't cut it (sorry, sorry...). This lightweight saw is easy to use, enabling very fine precision cuts, close to adjacent wood and with a neat finish. There's not much more to add to this, it's a very affordable and seems to be a high quality (if bendy) blade, two different tooth profiles (for soft- and hard-wood aside) and a comfortable enough wooden handle. Can't comment on longevity but I suppose if you don't abuse it and keep it safe in the little plastic cover it should last a good while. As my title says, I wish I'd realised I needed one of these ages ago.
