The Azebiki Hand Saw is a testament to the ingenuity of Japanese woodworking tools. Its unique design, featuring a short, curved blade, allows woodworkers to start cuts in the middle of a workpiece – a task that's challenging or impossible with standard saws.

The dual-sided blade is a standout feature, with 16 crosscut teeth per inch on one side and 10 rip teeth per inch on the other. This configuration allows for both cross-grain and with-grain cutting, making the Azebiki incredibly versatile for various joinery tasks.

Particularly prized by craftsmen who specialize in making Saya (wooden scabbards), the Azebiki's small size and precise cutting ability make it indispensable for this delicate work. However, its usefulness extends far beyond this niche, proving invaluable for any woodworking task that requires cuts in tight or awkward spaces.

The saw's overall length of 17 inches, with a blade of just 3-1/2 inches, provides an excellent balance between reach and control. The rattan-wrapped wooden handle, a hallmark of traditional Japanese tools, offers a comfortable and secure grip, reducing fatigue during extended use.

Whether you're a professional joiner, a passionate hobbyist, or a blade craftsman, the Azebiki Hand Saw is a tool that will elevate your woodworking capabilities. Its ability to make precise cuts in challenging locations will open up new possibilities in your projects, allowing you to achieve joinery and details that might otherwise be impossible.

Add the Azebiki Hand Saw to your toolkit and experience the precision and versatility that have made it a cherished tool among discerning woodworkers worldwide.
