This is a Gyokucho flush-cut saw. It has Japanese-style crosscut teeth and no set. The size is roughly that of a steak-knife and the blade is quite flexible such that the handle can be tilted upward to clear the work surface when you are trimming off a dowel to surface level and such.Because it is so small it is easy to store and doesn't clutter the bench. Gyokucho is an excellent brand and this little saw is very high quality, remarkable for the price, made in Japan.It is also a good size for making relief cuts for (hand-sized) wood carving or for wood model making. I have three of them now in different tool kits and they work great. I would definitely recommend.
