Shogun ZHC-4 Japanese Fine Cut Pull Saw 100mm Length Folding Design

Why Use A Japanese Pull Saw?

Harder Steel – Stays Sharp Longer

Cuts On Pull Action – Higher Cutting Accuracy

Requires Less Effort – Thinner blade is Light Weight To Use

The Shogun range of folding saws feature a wooden handle which incorporates a folding mechanism, allowing the blade to be safely folded away when not in use.

The blades are made of high quality Japanese steel and are very thin to allow precise cutting. The teeth are razor sharp and impulse hardened to ensure a long service life.

ZHC-4 has very fine tooth spacing to give an exceptionally smooth finish along with high accuracy when cutting in wood.

The most noticeable design feature of a Japanese saw is that the teeth are angled backwards towards the handle. When in use, the cutting action is on the pull-stroke hence Japanese saws are often referred to as pull saws. The saw is designed to cut as you draw it through the timber, totally the opposite to a traditional western saw. The benefit of the pull saw design, is that as much pressure as desired can be applied to the cut without fear of the blade buckling. This gentle method of sawing also ensures far more accuracy and a much thinner blade can be used which equals less resistance and a faster cut.
