Gyokucho 9-1/2" Double Edge Saw (Ryoba
Noko Giri)
This Razor Saw Grade has a blade length of
9-1/2" and an overall length of 23"; Cross-cut: 14 tpi and Rip: 7 tpi. A
unique feature of the Gyokucho Ryoba Saws is the handle which can be tilted
in relation to the blade. This allows access into areas otherwise awkward or
impossible to reach. Carpenters, restoration workers and boat builders will
find this feature particularly useful. The teeth are impulse hardened for
extended wear. The handles are wrapped with rattan for a secure grip. The
various blades can be interchanged. A brochure detailing use is included
with each saw.
Japanese woodworking saws (Noko Giri) are unique in that they
cut on the pull stroke. This gives the woodworker a degree of control and
accuracy impossible to obtain with Western "push" type saws. Because the
blade is in tension during use, it can be thin and hard. This means a very
sharp edge and exceedingly thin kerf. Ryoba Noko Giri are the mainstay of
the Japanese woodworker. They have cross-cut teeth on one side and rip teeth
on the other. The size and number of teeth vary with the length of the
blade. The longer the blade, the larger the teeth and the greater the set.
The 7" to 9" sizes are used for fine work associated with furniture and
cabinet-making. The 10" and 11" sizes are intended for carpentry work.
