About Nakaya
We’ve been stocking these superb Japanese pull saws for nearly two decades, though until recently, they arrived unbranded. We're now proud to acknowledge their true origin: Nakaya Fine Tools.
Nakaya’s roots go back to 1907, when Nitaro Nakaya founded the company in Hokkaido. Now based in Sanjo City, Niigata, Nakaya remains a family-run business, led by third-generation president Shintaro Namba. Their legacy is built on a blend of traditional craftsmanship and technical innovation.
Over the years, Nakaya has developed not just saws, but the precision machinery required to make them, pioneering Japan’s first fully automatic saw-cutting machine in 1967. Today, they produce a wide range of high-performance tools, from classic Dozuki and Kataba saws to automated blade-processing equipment used by other manufacturers.
Expertise in handsaw technology has been passed down through generations, resulting in some of the most refined and reliable pull saws available. With developments such as impulse-hardened teeth, ultra-fine blades, and a focus on accuracy, Nakaya saws continue to set the standard for woodworking professionals worldwide.
