HACHIEMON Japanese Flush Cut RYOBA Saw for Woodworking

perfect little trim saw for those small applications; very sharp but a strong blade

Good value for money. Lots of "offset" little teeth, works easier on soft woods, pine etc, but use gently, take your time, fine cut on hard woods, oak etc.

Perfect saw for cutting through 10mm dowels after inserting into joints. The blade flexes enough to get a square cut in tight positions. Beautifully crafted and half the price of other similar products, it now has a special position in my shed and will be used regularly. I recommend this for the purpose I mentioned

I love this little Japanese saw and use it all the time. It is very sharp and gives a nice clean cut. Well worth the money. Go on, treat yourself.

The media could not be loaded.  The saw was used to cut a scoop (removing part of fingerboard) in the the neck of a banjo. It created a clean cut in the wood but struggled a bit with the plastic binding - just requiring a bit of extra care. It is easy to use but I would recommend a bit of practice first.

It’s fantastic, sharp, quick to use and playable, also great to clean up edges and to cut away in areas which other tools can’t get too.The only downside is that it doesn’t have a protective sheath, to help preserve the teeth and any material it comes into contact with not in use.

It cuts in a strainght line with a narrow kerf and is flexible enough to use for flush cutting dowels et al. It is not cheap, it feels small for so much money but it does the job and size is not really an issue: it is a saw with a flexible blade. Actually I suppose any greater length might be a disadvantage! I like it.

trimming hand made plugs, superb
