I've had this a little while now before reviewing it. I'm no DIY god or the like but I've had recent reason to be cutting up some various blocks of wood for small 'fixes' around the house and I got this not being familiar with this kind of straight handled saw style and not sure how it would work. It's priced at AU$64.80 now and I've spent more than that on saws that were junk, so I wasn't really expecting much. What I can say is that for the small things I was doing with it, it made the work easy as can be. It seemed to cut so smoothly compared to most saws I've used and left a lovely clean cut more like a power saw than a hand saw. (This is where all astute DIYers and experienced carpenters are groaning at me know I'm sure) It seems like a quality level above what I'll need given how little such work I do but it surprised me at how useful it was the few times I've used it, so I'm very happy to have it.

This is my third Ryoba saw I’ve owned in my time, and it’s unquestionably the best. Very Sharp, very Comfortable to handle, and definitely a great looking tool. My second favorite feature is how the teeth on the rip side of the saw gradually decrease in size and spacing as it gets closer to the handle, making the initial pull much smoother as you begin. but the best part of this saw is the size. I probably should’ve taken note of the dimensions when I placed the order, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it to find it’s about 50% bigger than my other Japanese saws. It feels like I’m holding a sword. I reckon it’s big enough for timber framing, though I’ve only used it for building furniture this far. Great tool. Great results. Very pleased with it. Read more
