Both the rip and crosscut versions feature progressive tooth pitches - the teeth start\n out fine and get coarser as you move down the blade so it's easy to start, but you can still cut quickly.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The 15\" long blade is made form SK85 Japanese tool steel and has impulse hardened teeth. The handle is\n made from Japanese wingnut wood which is stained dark brown. Rattan accent wraps provide enhanced grip.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch5 style=\"margin-top:25px;\"\u003e\n   Specifications\n  \u003c\/h5\u003e\n  \u003cul style=\"margin-top:-2px;list-style-type: circle;\"\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    Rip Tooth Count  4.5 - 7.5tpi\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    Crosscut Tooth Count - 4.5 - 7.5tpi\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    Blade Thickness - 0.8 mm (0.031\")\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    Kerf - 1.4 mm (0.055\")\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    Cutting Length - 390 mm (15.3\")\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n    Overall Length - 630 mm (24.8\")\n   \u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003c!--\u003cli\u003eHandle Length - 300 mm (11-13\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e--\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c!--\nmfg propaganda\n\nTimber Rip\n\nLarge rip-cut Japanese timber framing pull saw. Bent handle for aggressive cutting. Progressive TPI. For timber framing, post \u0026 beam, or log cabin rip-cuts. For green, soft, or hard wood.\n\nDrawing inspiration from the renowned Maebiki \"whale back\" saw, known for its tall, whale-shaped blade designed for ripping logs into boards, this saw features a narrower and lighter weight blade making it much easier to handle and control. This crucial attribute was tailored specifically for timber framing and allows for fast and precise cutting of tenon cheeks and other rip-cut needs in large timbers. \n\nThe saw's expertly crafted Rip teeth are specifically designed for cutting through green or wet wood. The teeth become progressively more aggressive from the handle to the end of the blade. This allows users to easily initiate cuts near the handle and accelerate through the material with greater efficiency with full length cutting strokes. Made from high-grade SK85 Japanese tool steel, the blade measures 390mm (15.3”) in length with impulse hardened teeth for long term sharpness and durability. \n\nThe handle, crafted from Japanese Wingnut wood and stained a rich dark brown, is accented with natural rattan wraps for enhanced comfort and grip. The handles 30-degree bend creates a fulcrum point, allowing the user to apply more force to the teeth for faster cuts. \n\nCombine this saw with our Rip-Cut version to handle all timber framing cutting needs with our Timber Framing 2-Saw Combo.\n\nBlade Length\t15.3” (390mm)\nOverall Length\t24.8” (630mm)\nRip Teeth\t4.5-7.5 TPI\nBlade Thickness\t0.031” (0.8mm)\nKerf\t0.055” (1.4mm)\n\n\n===================\n\nTimber Crosscut\n\nLarge crosscut Japanese timber framing pull saw. Bent handle for aggressive cutting. Progressive TPI. For timber framing, pruning tree branches, bushcraft, cutting small to medium logs. For green, soft, or hard wood.\n\nThe Traditional Japanese Temagari Saw is a robust and aggressive crosscut pull saw originally designed for felling small trees and efficiently cutting logs into manageable pieces. We have adapted this classic design to excel in timber framing and post-and-beam construction, making it an essential tool for any Timber Framer.\n\nDrawing inspiration from the renowned Maebiki \"whale back\" saw, known for its tall, whale-shaped blade designed for ripping logs into boards, this saw features a narrower blade filled with crosscut teeth making it much easier to handle and control. This crucial attribute allows for precise cutting along your layout lines when timber framing, as well as taking into the field for pruning trees or bucking logs.\n\nThe saw\u0026#39;s expertly crafted crosscut teeth are specifically designed for cutting through green or wet wood, ideal for timber framing and pruning tasks. The teeth become progressively more aggressive from the handle to the end of the blade. This allows users to easily initiate cuts near the handle and accelerate through the material with greater efficiency with full length cutting strokes.
