About this Dozuki pull saw

This compact Dozuki pull saw is engineered for woodworkers who prioritize accuracy over speed. With a shorter 150 mm blade and a rigid brass back, it offers exceptional control for detailed joinery where precision is critical. Its size makes it easy to maneuver in tight layouts while maintaining the refined cutting behavior expected from a Dozuki.

Unlike traditional Dozuki saws designed primarily for crosscutting, this version uses a universal tooth pattern. This allows one saw to perform multiple cutting tasks without compromise, making it a practical and efficient choice for workshops that value versatility and clean results.

Performance & use cases

At the core of this saw is an SK85 Japanese tool steel blade, known for its hardness and excellent edge retention. With a blade thickness of approximately 0.012" (0.3 mm) and a kerf of around 0.02" (0.5 mm), it produces narrow, clean cuts that preserve layout accuracy and reduce the need for cleanup.

The tooth layout begins with fine crosscut teeth at the heel for easy, controlled starts. This transitions into a repeating sequence of crosscut and Oni-Ba rip teeth. The Oni-Ba design features deeper gullets that clear waste efficiently, allowing faster cutting without sacrificing surface quality. This makes the saw particularly effective for dovetails, tenon shoulders, cheeks, and delicate Kumiko components.

In workshop settings across the UAE, this Dozuki performs consistently on both imported hardwoods and engineered materials. Its compact form makes it well suited for teaching environments, detailed furniture work, and precision-focused projects where control and predictability are essential.

How to use (quick guide)

• Mark your joinery lines clearly with a knife or marking gauge
• Start the cut gently at the heel using short pull strokes
• Let the saw cut on the pull stroke without applying force
• Maintain a relaxed grip to improve tracking and accuracy
• Use steady, controlled strokes to complete the cut cleanly
