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 FL120 is a precision saw that features a thin blade with triple edged teeth, this allows the saw to be used as both a flush cut saw and also a general purpose precision saw for delicate tasks.
The teeth have no set, to allow flush cutting with no risk of scratching the flush surface which contacts the saw.
When using this saw, it helps if you gently rest the fingers of your free hand on the back of the blade just behind the cut. This gives much greater control.
A wooden handle provides a comfortable grip.

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.
When a Japanese saw is at work, the blade is under tension rather than compression as is the case with a Western pattern saw. As a result, the blade of a Japanese saw can be made far thinner and of much harder steel.
