Overview
With an SK5 steel blade and a plastic handle, the Husfunov hand saw is a 6 inch Japanese-style pull saw weighing about 0.09 kilograms overall. It fits woodworkers who want a lightweight tool for fine, precise cuts.
Japanese pull saws cut on the draw stroke rather than the push stroke, which keeps the blade under tension and typically produces a thinner, cleaner kerf than a Western push saw. The title notes a double edge design, suggesting two cutting edges on one blade, likely one for rip cuts and one for crosscuts, though the listing text is truncated and does not spell out which side does what. At 12 inches overall length and 0.09 kilograms it is light and compact enough for detail work.

Who it's for
Suits hobbyist woodworkers, model makers, and anyone doing trim or joinery work that calls for a light, precise pull saw. Less suited to rough framing or thick lumber, where the small size and light blade are not built for sustained heavy cutting.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- SK5 steel blade holds an edge well
- Pull-stroke design gives a clean, controlled cut
- Light and compact at 0.09 kilograms
- Plastic handle rather than wood
- Not built for thick lumber or framing work
Performance notes
SK5 is a high carbon tool steel commonly used for blades because it holds an edge well and can be ground thin without losing rigidity, which suits the fine kerf a pull saw is meant to produce. Cutting on the pull stroke, as Japanese saws do, keeps the blade in tension so it resists buckling despite its light 0.09 kilogram weight, making it easier to guide for accurate, controlled cuts.
