Japanese hand saws nokogiri are tools designed for cutting on the pull stroke, not the push. This primary difference in design distinguishes them from Western hand saws. Japanese saws typically have thinner blades with sharper and more precisely set teeth, allowing for cleaner and finer cuts with less effort.
Cutting on the pull stroke allows for better control and accuracy since you can more easily guide the saw with your fingertips. The saw blade also stays more aligned and taut during cutting, permitting the use of thinner blades. Thinner blades create thinner cuts and remove less material, consequently requiring less effort, easing the user’s hands and shoulders.
