Product details
Product information
The kataba is a backless style of Japanese pull saw designed for deep cuts all the way through a material. It can be used with deep timber sections or sheet materials.
The Shogun OK265 Hassunme Kataba is specifically designed for crosscutting (across the grain of the timber). It cuts very fast thanks to its narrow blade and medium fine 16tpi tooth pattern.
The blade fixes to a traditional Japanese rattan wrapped wooden handle that offers fantastic feel and control.
It can be paired with OK265RC Rip Cut Saw, to handle all eventualities.

All Shogun Japanese saws have superior cutting teeth:
1) 2-step deep teeth for scraping out wood chips to prevent clogging.
2) Precision teeth are ground by a diamond Borazon wheel to sharpen the teeth on 3 sides.
3) Electrical-pulse hardened teeth to maintain sharpness up to 3 times longer than conventional saws.
Why Use A Japanese Pull Saw?
Harder Steel – Stays Sharp Longer
Cuts On Pull Action – Higher Cutting Accuracy
Requires Less Effort – Thinner blade is Light Weight To Use
The most noticeable design feature of a Japanese saw is that the teeth are angled backwards towards the handle. When in use, the cutting action is on the pull-stroke hence Japanese saws are often referred to as pull saws. The saw is designed to cut as you draw it through the timber, totally the opposite to a traditional western saw. The benefit of the pull saw design, is that as much pressure as desired can be applied to the cut without fear of the blade buckling. This gentle method of sawing also ensures far more accuracy and a much thinner blade can be used which equals less resistance and a faster cut.
