Our Timberman's handsaw is ideal for cutting composite panels and timbers. You can cut fast. The teeth pitch is medium sized, so you could also use this as an all purpose saw.

Bamboo saws

Our bamboo saws have special teeth edges for cutting bamboo fibers. Also since bamboos are hollow inside, special teeth with smaller teeth pitch for bamboo makes clean cuts. They are not ideal for cutting green wood, but you can use them to cut timbers and dead wood. If you are pruning bamboos, we recommend our bamboo saw with a sheath. If you would like to use them for both pruning and bamboo craft, we recommend our bamboo saw with a straight handle. If you'd like to use it only for bamboo crafts for intricate work, we recommend our Dozuki extra fine saws and Dozuki saws.

Green wood

The teeth pitch increases as it gets towards the tip of the blade. With such characteristic, you can make smooth and easy cut to start with, and powerful cut as you start cutting with full strokes. The teeth have sets, so it's suited for pruning.

Pruning

Our Sentei saws do not have set. Saws with no set will give you cleaner cutting surface. It prevents damaging the tree. The blade is tapered, and it works just like a set, but it's not suited for cutting in vertical motion. We recommend Sentei saw for felling in the forest, especially for professionals, green wood saws for general pruning and landscaping, and fruit saws for fruit trees.

Fruit tree

Fruit trees in farms have thin branches and trunks, because they are pruned every year. Our green wood saws and Sentei saws would shake these thin branches because they have large teeth.
Fruit saws have medium size teeth, and it prevents shaking branches while you prune. Our Megumi fruit saws were developed together with fruit farmers in Japan.
