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.
