This traditional Japanese kataba cuts on the pull stroke for straighter, more accurate, more even cuts, and it is ideal for square cutting, leaving an incredibly clean surface. The handle is rubber-coated polycarbonate with a comfortable pistol grip that stays secure through a full day of sawing.
The 265 mm blade is impulse hardened and electroless nickel phosphorous plated against rust, and when it finally dulls it comes off with a screwdriver and a replacement drops in. Buy the saw, or just the blade for the one you already own.
