Overview
Two rows of teeth, rip on one edge and crosscut on the other, let this Temple Tool Ryoba cut with or across the grain without switching saws. It cuts on the pull stroke, which allows a thin blade and a narrow kerf.
Versatility in one blade is the reason to buy, handling dovetails, tenons and cutting boards to size. The thin blade bends if pushed, and spec sheet gaps leave blade length and tooth count unclear.
Who it's for
Hand tool woodworkers and hobbyists building furniture and boxes get rip and crosscut teeth in one saw. Builders who cut many boards quickly should use a power saw.
Pros and cons
- Rip and crosscut in one saw
- Thin kerf wastes little wood
- Made in Japan
- Wood handle with brass
- Blade length not stated in specs
- Thin blade can kink if pushed
- Teeth per inch unstated
- Sharpening service not mentioned
Performance notes
Pulling the saw holds the thin blade in tension, so it tracks straight and cuts with less effort than a push saw. Rip teeth chisel along the grain while crosscut teeth slice fibers cleanly across it.
