Japanese Kataba Flush Cut Saw – 100mm
Japanese Saws
Made exclusively for Rutlands® by Gyokucho, the world’s leading Japanese saw manufacturer, these saws have one stand out difference from their western counterparts; they cut on the pull stroke rather than the push stroke. The action of pulling the saw keeps the blade in tension through the cut, which allows the blade to be thinner and lighter, for a much smoother and faster cut. The narrow kerf means that the saw removes less material and requires far less energy to achieve a super-fine, tear free and clean cut. Each tooth is impulse hardened for superior sharpness and to stay sharper for longer. The blades are electronically surface plated to minimise friction and prevent resin build up and corrosion.
Kataba
This compact Kataba flush cut saw is designed for fine repair cuts, sawing in tight spaces and for trimming dowels and plugs. The saw features unset crosscut teeth for cutting across and diagonal to the grain on hardwood and softwood. The 100mm long, ultra thin 0.3mm blade minimises kerf wastage and is extremely flexible and can bend through 90° to access areas other saws can not reach. The teeth cleanly slice, rather than tear the wood fibres leaving a clean, smooth finish.
Wood Handle
Traditional in style, the blade is mounted on a lightweight wooden handle for fatigue free working for excellent comfort and hold. Made in Miki City, Japan. ©
