SUIZAN Ryoba 6-inch Double Edge Japanese Pull Saw – Professional Small Handsaw for Woodworking

Discover a precision tool designed for detailed woodworking tasks. The SUIZAN Ryoba 6-inch pull saw uses a pull-cut action to produce clean edges with less effort than traditional push saws. Built with high-quality Japanese steel and crafted in Japan, this small handsaw balances light weight with durable performance for both hobbyist projects and professional workspaces.

Why a pull saw can enhance your workflow

• Pull-cut design typically requires less force, which can help reduce hand fatigue during long sessions.
• The lighter construction contributes to smoother tracking and more controlled starts on detailed cuts.
• Razor-sharp cuts are achievable thanks to high-quality Japanese steel and precision grinding.

Premium craftsmanship in Japan underpins every tool SUIZAN makes. The entire production process for these saws is completed within Japan, benefitting from a long tradition of blade and woodcraft expertise that spans more than a century.

Versatility for hardwood and softwood

• Hardwood blade: capable of handling oak, sandalwood, ebony, mahogany, maple, walnut, and more with a robust 6" blade for stable performance.
• Softwood blade: optimized for white cedar, Japanese cedar, larch, paulownia, and similar species, enabling clean cross and rip cuts.

Key specs at a glance: 6" (150 mm) blade length, 0.016" (0.4 mm) thickness, TPI 17 for hardwood and 20 for softwood, kerf 0.02" (0.55 mm), overall length 12.4" (31.5 cm). These measurements contribute to precise control and predictable results on a range of cuts.

Practical use and care

• Use with accurate layout lines and a guided bench setup to maximize the benefits of the pull-cut action.
• Keep the blade clean and lightly oiled to maintain edge quality and reduce corrosion over time.

Whether you’re refining a joinery detail or tackling a small repair, this saw offers a balance of precision, craftsmanship, and tradition. Benefits are presented as possibilities to explore in your own projects, not guarantees of outcomes.
