Japanese Dovetail Saw
Master craftsman Toshio Odate designed this 19" Japanese Dovetail Saw specifically for cutting dovetails in hard wood, though it works equally well for softer woods and other kinds of fine joints. This Dovetail Saw is a Kaeba saw, meaning "changing blade". It has a replaceable blade with a steel stiffening back. The blade's cutting length is 7 inches, enough for an efficient stroke without drawing the hand too far from the work.
The blade has 23 tpi for extremely fine and smooth cuts. Kerf width is a scant 1/64th of an inch. Blade height (depth of cut) tapers along the length of the blade. At the heel of the blade it's 1-1/2″ and at the toe 2″. Lightweight wood handle is wrapped in rattan providing strength and a textured grip. This saw cuts on the pull stroke.
The teeth on the blade can be re-sharpened with a file (or you can simply replace the blade when needed).
