Kataba Pull Saw | Medium Universal Teeth | 265mm – Japanese Kataba Saw for Precision Woodworking

A Versatile, Single-edge Japanese Hand Saw Built for General-purpose Cutting

The Kataba Pull Saw | Medium Universal Teeth | 265mm is a reliable and efficient japanese hand saw designed for woodworkers seeking control, versatility, and quality. This Kataba saw features a 265mm blade with a universal tooth pattern, perfect for precise rip-cuts and crosscuts. It is an ideal all-rounder tool for any Dubai or UAE workshop looking for a dependable tool.

Unlike dual-edged Ryoba saws that sometimes bind on deeper cuts, this saw uses a single-edge blade that glides smoothly through wood.

Built for Precision with this Japanese Hand Saw

This Kataba saw is fitted with a 265mm SK85 tool steel blade, chosen for its balance of durability and smooth cutting behavior. The blade thickness is 0.019" (0.5mm) with a kerf of 0.03" (0.8mm), which provides both strength and cutting efficiency. Its thin profile permits fast, clean cuts while remaining strong for deep joinery.

The blade’s 14.4 TPI universal tooth pattern combines crosscut teeth with hybrid rip teeth arranged in a repeating sequence. This unique pattern lets the saw perform well in multiple cutting directions. Whether trimming tenon shoulders, ripping boards to size, or cutting intricate joinery cheeks, it maintains accuracy and produces clean edges each time.

Its handle is expertly made from wingnut wood, a close relative of walnut. The dark stain paired with natural rattan wrapping improves grip and comfort. This thoughtful design enhances tactile control, which proves crucial during long woodworking sessions, especially in the UAE’s fluctuating humidity.
