I like this saw very much. It cuts like a power saw. Very fast for a hand tool. Compared to other Japanese saws however, it is a bit lacking. I don't like the angled handle. It makes many cuts impossible since it gets in the way. I very much prefer the straight handle saws from skark and other comanies. Still , compared to a stanley or other regular saw it cuts very well indeed .

This saw hangs alongside other mass-produced factory saws in hardware store chains, but it blows them all away. Your typical hardware store saw makes you wonder how anybody ever managed to build anything before power tools came along. This saw answers that question.

It is sold as a general carpentry saw, but I use it for woodworking as well. It works much faster with the typical yellow plastic miter box than the included saw and leaves behind a nicer cut. Even sawing freehand, the length and aggressiveness make it easy to stay on your cutline.

Among fine handsaws sold in specialty boutiques, this saw might rate as an average performer. But for a cheap saw from the hardware store, it's unbelievable-- in a class by itself.
