In Japanese, ''Dozuki'' means ''tenon shoulder''. Most Dozuki saws are filed with crosscut teeth for those tenon shoulder cuts, but this saw is specifically designed with true rip-cut teeth at a fine 18 TPI. The proper name for this type of rip-tooth back saw is “Hozohiki.” However, ''Dozuki'' has somewhat changed meanings over time and is now mainly used to describe any Japanese saw with a ''back''. This dovetail was carefully designed to quickly and accurately make those critical rip cuts and leave an ultra-smooth surface needed for dovetails, tenon cheeks, and other fine rip cuts.
The high-grade SK85 Japanese tool steel blade is 240mm (9.5'') long. The fine 0.3mm (0.011'') blade is supported by a brass back and secured with brass hardware which makes blade replacement easy.
The handle is made of Japanese Wingnut (in the walnut family) and is stained a rich dark brown colour. The blade has a rounded end to help users quickly distinguish it from the crosscut version that has a squared end.
Expertly crafted in Japan, Temple Tool Co. blends legendary Japanese craftsmanship with our signature Western aesthetics.
