Usage tips
Pull cut: let the saw do the work, without forcing it.
Starting: use the tip (curved on Usuba) to “hook” the line.
For longevity: prioritize clean guides and avoid twisting during cutting.

Compact and offering exceptional cutting precision, the Dozuki 180 Gyokucho saw is designed for tasks where clean cuts and precise guidance are paramount: dovetail joints, splices, grafts, cabinetmaking adjustments, as well as instrument making and model building. Its long metal backing stiffens the blade and promotes straight, clean cuts.

Depending on the version, you can choose between a more traditional wood-rattan handle or a rubber grip handle offering excellent traction. The blades are interchangeable and feature hardened teeth for a secure edge.
