KAKURI Japanese Hand Saw [Bamboo Cutting] 8-1/4" Japanese Pull Saw with Blade Cover, Made in JAPAN

Ignore any reviews of this saw questioning it's ability to cut wood. I craft with bamboo daily, sold over 1500 artisan bamboo products on Etsy. I can asuure you, bamboo is not wood, and cutting it is not the same. Here in America we all grew up attending wood shop in school building our housesfrom timber. We understand tree wood. Bamboo however is hollow, with a different cellular structure and completely different grain than timber. Plus it has a thin outer skin which tends to fray if not cut with care. This saw is my new favorite for cutting bamboo, and I've tried a bunch. It cuts easy and clean without much effort. I use it for both cured and fresh cut, multiple bamboo species, and it deliers nice cuts across the board. Don't be surprised if your bamboo saw dosn't cut tree branches as good as you'd hoped. However, If you plan to use your bamboo saw to cut bamboo, well then you'll find it works very well. The protective shell is all gravy-

Sliced through thick bamboo like butter. Works great!

I purchased the bamboo cutting hand saw to prune the overgrowth from several birds of paradise plants. The leaf stalk fibers are kind of similar to bamboo and this Japanese handsaw cut through both green and dried, dead stalks like butter. I actually have a smaller Japanese pruning saw but its length isn't long enough to slice across wide stalks, that one takes more time to cut. This Kakuri bamboo cutting blade will make this chore so much easier. I have no issues with the blade thickness. It does flex a little bit, but that's a bonus for maneuverability with these damn birds of paradise leaf stalks.

I tried to make my own bamboo deer scarer water feature. This saw was easy to use and pretty sharp. But the fountain didn't tip correctly - the balance was off - so I ended up buying one from Amazon. In the end, it was a good saw for my DIY attempt.

Read and follow instructions and this saw cuts through bamboo very well!

I grow a lot of bamboo and cut it for use as stakes and various projects. I have previously cut the bamboo cane with a large pruner, the cutter ended up crushing the canes. I wanted to be able to cut bamboo and needed a saw with fine teeth. This saw fit the bill nicely, the blade has many small teeth and makes a nice clean cut. The saw blade is thin buts works well to cut the bamboo quickly and I can easily cut angled cuts which I wasn't able to do with pruners.

Great for trimming bamboo.

As someone with a nightmare back yard for bamboo (now hopefully tamed for a while), I loved having this there to cut through the thicker stalks. It cut both the wet and dry fairly quickly, and didn't take much force to use.

Scie performante

Absolutely perfect for trimming/pruning bamboo. It makes a really nice clean cut.

Article très efficace pour couper des bambous. Mais la lame s'use très rapidement. Comment s'en procurer une autre ?

At last, a saw designed for the job. Only the Japanese could come up with a blade that makes the annual thinning of my ever increasing black bamboo so quick and EASY. I only went out to test it and within half an hour the job was done. The tiny teeth, so different from a classic pruning saw, cut cleanly through each cane in three cuts without leaving a ragged edge. I am genuinely impressed. Love a tool that's made for a specific task.

Tres bonne scie a bambou MAIS impossible de racheter des lames de rechanges meme sur le site japonais ..... donc pas top considérez la comme une scie unique et sans possibilité de changer la lame
