Dozuki Back Japanese Handsaw (240mm 9 1/2") for Hard Wood

So I really wasn't sure about this saw. But it had to be better than what I had been using to cut my dovetails, which was a cheap pull saw that I'd picked up years ago at home depot.It arrived in one piece which is always a good thing and since I already had dovetails marked and waiting on its arrival, I went straight to work.As with pretty much any hand saw I've ever used it occasionally requires a partial stroke in this case a small push of the blade before pulling your cut. But when you do get it cutting it tracks the line like a Ferrari, and chews through the wood like an angry Beaver 🦫! Despite my imagery of the angy Beaver, the kerfs are impressively thin and silk smooth! And that was cutting dovetails in 1 1/2" (2 x 3/4" boards laminated together) Oak; with the grain, across the grain, and even through a spot that i don't think that even the grain knew which way it was going! The cuts are actually smooth enough that unless I mess up my marking/cutting on the pins half, I don't think I'll even bother to clean these things up with the chisels. Just clean out the waste and call it a day.Definitely recommend!My ONLY word of caution, is that you make absolutely certain that your blade is liked up before you start cutting. Because it is GOING to continue on that track! LOL
