An authentic Ichizo (市蔵) mini pruning pull saw, crafted in Banshu Miki, Hyogo Prefecture — one of Japan\'s most respected blade-making regions. This compact 180mm single-edge nokogiri (鋸) is made from SK Steel — a reliable Japanese carbon tool steel widely used in hand saws for its balance of sharpness and durability. The pull-cut action (cutting on the pull stroke) is a hallmark of Japanese saw design, enabling a thinner kerf and greater control than push-cut saws. Weighing just 70g, this saw excels where precision and portability matter. New Old Stock (NOS) — originally unused, sourced from long-term professional stock.

Re-Sharpening Note

Japanese pull saw teeth are typically hardened and impulse-set for long service life. When the blade eventually dulls, replacement of the blade (or the saw) is the standard practice rather than re-sharpening. This is normal for Japanese nokogiri of this type.

Safety & Use Notice

• 01 Pull-Cut Characteristics Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke and have thin, precisely set blades. Do not force the blade — excessive pressure can cause binding, bending, or breakage. Let the teeth do the work with light, controlled strokes.
• 02 Safe Use
  • Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting. Keep hands, arms, and bystanders clear of the cutting line.
  • Start slowly and use controlled strokes. Avoid twisting the blade in the kerf.
  • Do not use this saw on materials it is not designed for (e.g., metal, masonry).
• 03 Storage / Edge Protection Protect the teeth when not in use. Keep the blade dry and store in a sheath or protective cover to prevent tooth damage and accidental contact.
• 04 Carbon Steel Care SK Steel is a carbon tool steel and will rust if left wet. Wipe dry after every use. Lightly oil the blade before storage.
• 05 Box / Packaging No box is included with this item, as stated in the product description above.
• 06 Warranty / Liability Sold AS IS / WITH ALL FAULTS to the extent permitted by law. User assumes all risks of use, maintenance, and storage.
