The Ryoba is a Japanese pull saw with teeth on both edges of the blade. It is one of the more unusual looking Japanese saws, however do not discount it, because it is actually the perfect all in one solution and is the most economical way to buy.The Shogun MC2424H is a 2 in 1 saw with one edge for Crosscutting (across the grain of the timber) and one edge for Rip cutting (parallel to the grain of the timber). The 2 edges are clearly marked for the different functions with differing tooth types to maximise efficiency for each function. This saw is a true all round work horse for carpenters, joiners and woodworking hobbyists alike. It is equally at home in softwoods, hardwoods, green or oily timbers.The blade fixes to a Paulownia wooden handle with a traditional looking wrap which offers fantastic control.Japanese saws are made from very high quality steel with hard and long lasting teeth. With a little care lt will last for many years of daily use. They should not be considered disposable like the Western equivalents.Shogun MC2424H Specification:Blade Length: 240mmBlade Thickness: (Plate) 0.5mmBlade Thickness: (Kerf) 0.75mmBlade Height: 80mmToothing Crosscutting: 1.3mm (19tpi)Toothing Rip Cut: 1.5mm (16tpi)Overall Length 570mmReplaceable Blade: Yes. Product Code: MC2424HRBAll Shogun Japanese saws have superior cutting teeth:1) 2-step deep teeth for scraping out wood chips to prevent clogging.2) Precision teeth are ground by a diamond Borazon wheel to sharpen the teeth on 3 sides.3) Electrical-pulse hardened teeth to maintain sharpness up to 3 times longer than conventional saws.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.
