I wondered how tight or loose the handle might be due to its folding mechanism, but it’s rock solid. It may not remain so over years of use, of course, but I can always glue it and lock it into the open position if it ever becomes a problem.
I always through they put the handles on the wrong end of saws, making them harder to use than they should be, but the Japanese got it right: these are much more civilised, and having a thinner blade means you remove less material, which reduces the work and loss of length of the wooden pieces you’re working with. My other saws are now enjoying their retirement.
The two cutting edges are different: one only cuts when pulling, while the other cuts more strongly on the pull than the push. Be very careful when cleaning the blade as those spikes are sharper than the ordinary saws you may be familiar with.
For the price, I didn’t think it would be this good. It cuts very quickly, love the folding nature of it. Fairly solid when opened and locked. I don’t use it a lot, but it’s brilliant to have and doesn’t take much space.
I had a great opportunity to use it not long ago whilst making wooden reindeer, it was brilliant having a two sided saw of different cutting abilities of fine and course or one for dry wood and one for green wood. I found it so easy to use and due to its construction and flexibility of the blade it made it possible to actually cut in a curve.
Yes I’d definitely recommend! Well worth the money.
Got it for cheap so good idea keeps you and the blade protected however the poor quality means the blade doesnt line up when trying to close and can be a bit fiddly
