I have been doing woodworking for 25 years, and these days I no longer use Western handssaws anymore - over the years I have "graduated" to Japanese saws only. They are just easier to cut on the pull stroke with, and I have more control. I know everyone does not agree, but to each his own.One requirement for my Japanese saws is they have replaceable blades. You can spend anywhere from $20 to $1000 on a dozuki - and you can still get a quality saw without breaking the bank. Enter these Gyokucho Dozukis. I have found the Gyokucho saws to be a great trade off between quality and price - and the fact you can buy replacement blades make them an attractive choice.I interchange three styles of blade on my Gyokucho's:- The #370 - the standard cross cut dozuki at 25 tpi - it is the same tooth tpi and configuration as the blade in this ad (the #371), but it is not as wide.- The #371 - the blade in this ad, again 25tpi like the 370, but in a wide configuration for a deeper cut.- The #372 - the rip cut version that fits the Gyokucho, at 17 tpi.All are interchangeable on the same handle, and all are great blades. Don't let the low cost fool you, these are VERY good blades and they make clean cuts.Typical Japanese quality at a great price - these are proof you don't have to break the bank to have quality Japanese saws.Thanks for reading.Pics attached: first one is of all three saws / blades mentioned above - from top to bottom is the #370, #371, #372. The second pic shows how the 371 is a wider version of the 370. Both 370 and 371 are cross cut saws at 25 teeth per inch, good for fine / finish cuts. The 372 is a rip saw, at 17 teeth per inch and good for dovetails since and other rip cuts.
