Z Saws

Z Saws are some of the most accessible Japanese pull saws on the market. Made in Japan by Okada Kogyo, every Z Saw blade features impulse-hardened teeth that stay sharp far longer than traditional saws, with the thin kerf and precise cut that pull-stroke sawing is known for.

Once you've used one, the push-stroke saws of Western tradition feel clumsy by comparison. Z Saws are the brand we put in students' hands for their first taste of Japanese joinery work, and the same brand that keeps coming back to our own tool bags.
