Gyokucho 770-3600 Razor Ryoba Saw with Blade

It's the best saw I've ever used! This 7-inch saw is the perfect size. It's great for cutting small pieces and also excellent for cutting large ones.

This saw is a great addition to the many saws I have in the shop. It allows me to make fine and precise crosscuts and ripcuts with a very fine finish. The blade will cut through hardwoods pretty easily and efficiently. Being a Japanese saw, it cuts on the pull of the cut rather than the push. I like this for certain cuts I make on my works. The blade is very flexible, so this can be a limiting factor if you are looking for the saw to stay perfectly straight. The blades are removable in this saw so they should be replaceable. With the following miter box I have no problem achieving very straight 45 degree cuts with this saw: FIT TOOLS Aluminum Mitre Box 2 inch x 3 inch with Fix Screw for Hand Saw The dimensions of the product can be seen in the photos I uploaded. Pros: *Fine finish after cutting *Cuts efficiently Cons: *Saw blade is a bit too flexible. If you get used to it this can become a minimal factor (-1/2 a star) Additional Considerations: Remember this is a Japanese style saw. It cuts on the pull, not the push. If you want something more rigid there are similar Japanese saws with a reinforced back edge of the blade to prevent flex. Overall: 4.5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I occasionally have small cuts to make on moldings or small boards that are really too small to make safely or easily on a table saw or miter box, this extremely sharp and fine handsaw is just the ticket. It cuts cleanly, quickly and amazingly accurately to shave even a very small edge off of a board or molding. I find myself reaching for it time and time again for those quick finish cut adjustments. Because it is so flexible, you can sneak it into places that you just can't get to with conventional power tools. I keep it in the plastic sleeve it comes in to preserve the razor sharp teeth. Great tool.

This saw is great. The teeth are very sharp and cut through most wood like butter. The blade is very straight and had no bend or warp. The handle is very comfortable and a good size. The fine and large teeth both work very well. However it is important to pay attention to grain direction when cutting with the large teeth. Cutting across the grain with the large teeth results in a lot of tear out. This is easily fixed by using the fine teeth. Cutting end grain is easy with both sides. My one negative complaint is the blade lock comes loose occasionally. It does not cause any major problems but needs to be tightened every once in a while. Overall this is a great product and is a perfect first saw for woodworking.

Love this little saw. At first I thought that it was just too small but after using it the first time it was just right. I use it to cut smaller pieces of wood, or to start a cut for a larger saw. The teeth are typical ryoba set up, with smaller and closer set teeth near the handle and getting bigger and farther apart at the other end. Also love that it is basically two saws in one, crosscut and rip saw. And best part is that they blades are replaceable so no need to sharpen. I have used previous saw blades as scrapers, as the steel used is very good. I had thought the handle was soft and leather like, but it is actually somewhat hard plastic. But it still provides a very good grip to the saw.

"Maximum effect with minimal effort" - Jiguro Kano I believe this may be the most efficient saw I've ever used, and I've used a LOT of them. It's almost effortless to both rip and to cross-cut. I compared it buy cutting through 2x4's of Spruce (easy) and 2x12 of Southern Yellow Pine. This bay side-by-side testing against a new, well rated back saw; this Japanese style saw won easily. Considering it's actually two saws in one, it saves me money to buy more wood for projects. I was concerned about the 'modern' handle, but it's very sure in the hand and comfortable.

Living in Hawaii, I have used Japanese pull saws for thirty plus years, Purchased a Kakuri in the same size from Amazon in Dec 2020 to replace a favorite from twenty years ago, but it surprisingly became dull too quickly. I only use these on cerdars and redwood. This Gyokucho 770-3600 is much sharper... and of better quality... and is also made in Japan. I have seen similar saws produced in China and the steel used is far inferior. Stick with true Japanese manufacturers. I highly recommend this Gyokucho saw. I also bought a 125mm flush cutting saw by Gyokucho... FYI, the price has dropped... good time to buy.

This was my 1st Japanese made saw. I learned for 3 years using Harbor Freight saws, and I have strong woodcutting skills now. They worked and I got a lot of done with those, but this is much better. Thinner blade, went through the wood better. I was surprised at how competent it was for decently thick pieces of hardwood, like 4" diameter branches that I rip cut longways. My next saw is going to be longer for that sort of thing, with bigger teeth. This one was great for small precision work, and I think that's what it's best at.

Superb!!!!!! Teak wood loves to get cut by this gentle Japanese saw. One can cut any angle, any tilt. Great for dovetail cutting.

J'ai découvert ce type de scie part une connaissance japonaise étudiante en arts appliqués . J'ai été si emballée par ses qualités que j'en ai offert pour Noël à 3 bricoleurs de ma famille . D'abord surpris, c'est un outil dont ils ne pourraient plus se passer désormais car cette scie à main d'un concept très différent de nos scies occidentales les surpasse quand on recherche des coupes fines, bien droites et sans effort , avec une finition soignée. Des liteaux, des baguettes d'encadrement, du parquet etc... elle a même recoupé très proprement un plan de travail mélaminé de 3cm d'épaisseur avec une coupe parfaitement droite et sans éclats du mélaminé ce que n'aurait su faire ni une scie circulaire ni une scie sauteuse . Lame changeable sur ce modèle ( mais pas encore effectué malgré un usage non intensif mais régulier ) . Même s' iI en existe de plus belles et performantes (mais aussi plus chères) celle-ci offre déjà un excellent rapport qualité/prix à qui veut découvrir la scie japonaise sans se ruiner . Un outil indispensable loin du gadget. .
