Timber saw from Tashiro Hardware

A shot of a Timber saw from Tashiro Hardware :

Description

The Timber saw has a Japanese tooth pattern, 11 tpi, with a 31.5 cm of teeth. Like all such saws it cuts on the pull stroke.

how it cuts

The Timber saw was compared extensively to a couple of folding pruning saws and found to be more aggressive while still being fluid in the wood It even compared well to a packable swede saw the Trailblazer

additional abilities

Even with its relatively coarse tooth pattern, the timber saw can still readily cut ropes and plastic tubing. It also can trim small hardwoods with ease, starting fluidly. Though of course this is not a saw for finish carpentry as the edge on the wood are far too rough. One really nice feature is that at the very end of the blade near the handle, the edge slops up, allowing a very smooth starting cut.

handle

The handle is ergonomic and secure, cuts could be made readily even with the handle was lubricated with oil/soap. The bright blue color allows the saw to be spotted readily which keeps it from getting misplaced. The dropped profile also reduces fatigue as it limits the amount of force required to push the saw into the wood, increasing the aggression and thus effort can be concentrated on the pull.
