SUIZAN Ryoba Double Edge Saw 9.5" Assembly ver - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Handsaw Woodworking Tools

This is my 3rd different saw from Suizan. After trying a variety I can safely say this blade simply does it better. The nadle is long and easy to grip and the blade cuts like butter on hardwood. As someone who enjoys cutting dovetail but always seems to struggle with getting clean easy cuts this saw has been a massive helper and greatly improved my cuts. The saw is well structured, sharp, and meets the functional needs to be a great tool. I also like that the blade width isn’t too wide.

I suggest saving $10 and buying the unassembled option. However, this saw is worth several times the price. I needed to cut through round log furniture to make modifications. After watching two videos for ten minutes, I made near perfect cuts without breaking a sweat. Over the next few weeks, I used the saw dozens of times to restore furniture that had been in storage, all because the saw is so accurate and so easy to use. The high quality of this saw is impossible to describe, a great value!

The SUIZAN Ryoba Double Edge Saw is an outstanding tool for anyone who enjoys woodworking. It’s incredibly sharp right out of the box, and the pull‑saw design makes cuts smooth, clean, and easy to control. The double‑edge feature is a huge plus — one side for rip cuts and the other for crosscuts — giving you a lot of versatility in a single tool. The handle feels comfortable and well‑balanced, even during longer projects. Overall, this saw delivers excellent craftsmanship and performance. A great addition to any workshop, whether you’re a beginner or experienced woodworker.

My old flat saws had finally given up a busy life, so reluctantly I ordered this Suizan Ryoba Double edge saw. This thing is a cutting beast. I've clung to my old saws like lifelong friends and at 70 years old and doing woodworking for most of them, I realized I've been putting forth way too much effort in sawing with my badly worn flat saws. When I put the Suizan to wood, I was put back at how effortless and swiftly the saw went through hardwood. My old saws were beginning to drift off square a tad, but the new Suizan Ryoba slipped throught the wood with ease and perfectly square every cut. This saw is a value, is extremely sharp and cuts true. Buy one of these things. I think it deserves a Haiku, Saw saw so swiftly Dust of wood to earth raining Awe the masters hand.

Good saw, but it broke after about 1 year of ocasional use. Standard pull saw length. Very well sharpened. one side quickly saws through rip cuts, while the other side makes crosscuts easy. powerful teeth. It worked well before it broke. the handle is standard and ergonomic. super easy to assemble. great for a beginner , but if your using it frequently you might go for a more high end model.

Couldn't be happier with this! It cut through bolivian rosewood like butter! It's a good beginner handsaw and is very easy to use. It's comfortable and has a nice light weight to allow longer use! The teeth are sharp, and exact, the handle is light, and the assembly process is easy. One screw, and done! Functions exactly like you'd think. The handles allow easy grip. The length is as advertised with a 9.5 inch blade. Would easily buy again, and will buy another Suizan product!

Best wood saw I got, haven't fired the electric skillsaw, since the purchase even with that old hard 2 x 6 cuts I just made for the deck. 1 thing, this thing is SUPER SHARP, any touch however light and you will be bleeding !!! Just like the Japanese tri-cut blades I have for tree trimming. Thats why they work so well.

Makes tough cutting easy. The magic is in the thin-ness of the blade, and how the proper cutting angle is built into the (flared) design. Saved my workpieces and hours of work. When you get it started and let the saw do the cutting, the blade sort of sings and makes a whispering sound like you're cutting through paper instead of hardwood.

I finally took the plunge on my first Japanese saw and I can only say I wasted far too many years waiting to do so! This saw is sharp, very sharp. I have used it to rip 8' x 4' sheets of 1/4" ply to size in about half the time it would take me using a traditional push cut saw. (I used both the rip and the crosscut edge, both edges work on ply but the crosscut edge leaves a slightly cleaner cut) Pine is a joy to cut, it's almost like it's not even there. Now, onto hardwood and does it work on it? Yes, it most definitely does. I have cut teak, oak and walnut with it. It cuts so much faster and once you know how to use it properly it's very accurate. If you tend to stray from your lines when using a saw you can use the Paul Sellers method and cut a knife wall, that will keep you on track. Are there any downsides to this saw? No, none, well, if you call taking the time to learn how to use it correctly a downside then that's the only one. There is a slight learning curve but a few internet videos will fix that in no time. If like me you have exclusively used push cut saws your muscle memory will have to change a little. Remember it cuts on the pull and you'll be fine. The kerf is tiny, something else you will have to take note of, you'll need to get right up to your marks. Materials: The saw is well made, the blade is thin (This is by design) and the handle is sturdy and works well. One thing I might change though is to add some kind of fabric tape or hockey tape to the handle to ease pressure on the hand, especially if you are going to be cutting a lot of timber. Overall, this is a fantastic addition to my workshop and I can see no reason to go back to a push cut saw, ever!

Finding out about these saws has been the best thing for my woodwork journey. They cut through wood like butter and I can even use my off hand with minimal effort. After using these saws I made the choice to do all my woodwork by hand. I have bought two of them already (one as a spare) Great product!

Fastest way to get setup with a high quality saw. Pull rather than push saws take a little bit of getting use to, but not much. Best advice: lower the saw quickly after getting the cut started - it saws smoother and more accurate. It is razor sharp and had a very thin kerf (width of the cut). Within the first half a dozen uses a beginner wood worker will be cutting to at least an accuracy (wavyness in cut) of 1/16" and another half a dozen uses should get you close to or at 1/32" wavyness in cut. Make sure you have lots of light and look at the reflection in the saw - makes it easy to keep saw accurately vertical. When you're doing it right you are applying little down pressure and it will feel smooth. Adjust your use of the saw until you feel this. A lot more work to get good with a western saw than with one of these. This is the saw to build saw skill and confidence in your saw skill.

Super super awesome. It has made my gardening work hassle free. Sharp blades cuts even the most thick tree branches.

Well i made the plunge to buy one of these saws, head a lot about them, read loads of reviews, but i do think iv bought a excellent saw here, it cuts perfect and very straight, wish i had bought one years ago. worth every penny, just remember when you are using this saw it cut on the return motion, once you get the hang of that its like poetry in motion
