5 out of 5 stars I'm not easy to please, but...   August 22, 2008
Matthew R. Kerr (USA)
This is the smoothest and fastest saw I have ever used. It cuts on both the pull and the push stroke making every cut fast. Requires very little pressure to use. The cuts are so smooth that you would swear you had sanded that cut. The only think this saw doesn't do is help me cut straight.

I love this saw. If it breaks, I'll get another just like it.
Price and shipping were good.



5 out of 5 stars Backpacker's dream come true   March 26, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

When it comes to backpacking, this saw is my prize possesion. No longer do I dread gathering firewood after a long day's hike, and the saw is so light that even ultralighters will consider carrying it.

A year ago, I cleared a 3/4 mile trail through the woods around my house with just this saw, cutting up to 12" diameter logs (yes, it is faster use this saw to cut around large logs than to use any of the bigger western saws I have). I was still able to make straight, smooth finish cuts on wood projects afterwards. It is the one saw I will not do without. I know there are better (more expensive) Japanese style saws out there, but this is a knockabout saw that lasts and lasts.

The one drawback for this saw is that in the hands of an amateur it is easy to bend the blade. You may not want to loan out this one.


4 out of 5 stars A Serviceable Japanese ystyle Handsaw   October 16, 2003

Positive Attributes:
**Sharp, sharp, sharp
**Thin Blade makes for a thin kerf
**Pistol grip is more familiar to Western saw users
**Detachable & replaceable blade
**Handy for flush cuts
**Can use in Miter Box

Negative Attributes:
**Blade is too thin, buckles when used aggressively. Hardwood cutting difficult.
**Bending and buckling causes tooth loss

The Sharksaw family of handsaws combines the sharpness of the Traditional Japanese-style saw with economy price. Unfortunately, the economizing cuts into the gauge of steel used in forging the blade. The thinner blade causes the blade to bend and jam a bit more than I'd like. This is indeed a saw where the smoothness of stroke and evenness of pressure is more effective. Hackers beware! This saw is not for you!

Aside from the blade's thinness, there really aren't any negatives for this saw. If you prefer a pistol-style handle, you will be happier than with a traditional straight handle.

I prefer the traditional handle, maybe because I've been using Japanese-style handsaws for over 20 years. I did notice a multiple-position handle version by Sharksaw. That might be a desirable factor for some. (See Shark Corp 10-2311 SharkSaw Multi-Angle Saw)

If cost is a factor, then this is a great saw for the money. If you can afford to spend a few more buckaroos, I suggest doing a web search for a Traditional Ryoba-type saw and purchase one with a thicker-gauge double-sided blade and a straight handle.
