The Kataba 180 Razorsaw Super Hard Japanese saw is a backless saw specifically designed for cutting tasks where blade strength and precision are paramount. Unlike standard saws, its Super Hard teeth offer increased hardness, allowing it to tackle very hard woods, plywood or glued panels, as well as composite and particleboard materials without the blade dulling quickly, which is particularly useful for repetitive cuts or extended use.
The 180 mm blade length makes it a compact saw, easy to handle in tight spaces or for precise cuts such as finger joints, tenons, dovetails, or fine joints. The curved tip of the blade facilitates starting cuts in the middle of a panel, reducing the effort required at the beginning of the cut.

For enhanced user comfort, the handle features a rubberized grip, ensuring a stable and secure hold, even under heavy use or repeated applications. The tool thus combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with ergonomics adapted to the needs of today's demanding workshops.
