Razorsaw Super Hard Kataba Japanese Saw 270mm Crosscut Blade 13TPI TPE Handle

Gyokucho invented the first replaceable blade Japanese saw back in the 1970’s, and still lead the industry in terms of quality and innovation.

The Kataba saw is traditionally used by carpenters in Japan for general purpose use such as cutting plywood, rough sawn wood and laminated board. 

The blades receive a special surface treatment called electroless nickel plating. The plating produces a very smooth surface that resists corrosion and the adhesion of tree resins as well as providing a reflective surface that can be used to accurately align the cut. 



The teeth of Gyokucho saws are hardened through a sophisticated impulse hardening.  The very tip of the tooth is exposed to exactly 27.12MHz for between 3 and 5 milliseconds, the resulting shockwave case hardens the outside of the tip of the tooth to well over RC67, while leaving the interior soft for maximum strength.

• Ergonomic TPE grip for ease during prolonged use
• Well suited for 50mm cuts and greater
• Impulse hardened teeth for durability
  
• Resists corrosion and the adhesion of tree resins
