Esta muy bien, lo recomiendo mucho

I've had trouble using push saws because of issues with shoulders that caused pain when a push saw jammed or got stuck. Bought this saw hoping it would relieve the issue. This saw is great! Besides no pain using the saw I found it much easier to use than a push saw. I first tried a rip cut on a piece of pine, basically cut a 4" X 8" piece into three boards. Took some trial and error, but in the end I had made three boards 1/2" thick with little deviation of the cut. This took some time, but my arms never tired or hurt in any way. The handle is fairly long so you can easily adjust your grip. The saw was also very good at making crosscuts that were accurate and clean. The blade is quite thin, flexible, and sharp. Think it would be very good at cutting trim pieces like the bottom of doors when replacing flooring. I would highly recommend this saw to anyone. The ease of use and accuracy to me are much better than the standard push saw, especially for rip cuts.

This is my 3rd different saw from Suizan. After trying a variety I can safely say this blade simply does it better. The nadle is long and easy to grip and the blade cuts like butter on hardwood. As someone who enjoys cutting dovetail but always seems to struggle with getting clean easy cuts this saw has been a massive helper and greatly improved my cuts. The saw is well structured, sharp, and meets the functional needs to be a great tool. I also like that the blade width isn’t too wide.

I finally took the plunge on my first Japanese saw and I can only say I wasted far too many years waiting to do so! This saw is sharp, very sharp. I have used it to rip 8' x 4' sheets of 1/4" ply to size in about half the time it would take me using a traditional push cut saw. (I used both the rip and the crosscut edge, both edges work on ply but the crosscut edge leaves a slightly cleaner cut) Pine is a joy to cut, it's almost like it's not even there. Now, onto hardwood and does it work on it? Yes, it most definitely does. I have cut teak, oak and walnut with it. It cuts so much faster and once you know how to use it properly it's very accurate. If you tend to stray from your lines when using a saw you can use the Paul Sellers method and cut a knife wall, that will keep you on track. Are there any downsides to this saw? No, none, well, if you call taking the time to learn how to use it correctly a downside then that's the only one. There is a slight learning curve but a few internet videos will fix that in no time. If like me you have exclusively used push cut saws your muscle memory will have to change a little. Remember it cuts on the pull and you'll be fine. The kerf is tiny, something else you will have to take note of, you'll need to get right up to your marks. Materials: The saw is well made, the blade is thin (This is by design) and the handle is sturdy and works well. One thing I might change though is to add some kind of fabric tape or hockey tape to the handle to ease pressure on the hand, especially if you are going to be cutting a lot of timber. Overall, this is a fantastic addition to my workshop and I can see no reason to go back to a push cut saw, ever!
