This is the best dozuki saw I have at the moment. Very special handmade
dozuki made by one of the most famous sawsmith Shindou Katsuo from Suwa,
Shinshu (Nagano prefecture). You might be able to find some of his saws
sold in American sites (should be super expensive). Shindo has passed away
many years back, so these are super rare collector's item. Unfortunately
there are couple of tooth broken. But as you can see in the photo where
(it is on the handle side where you don't really use) and how the tooth
are broken (every other tooth) doesn't effect the performance too much.
Hon-metate (the best quality toothing) cuts superb, so you can use it as
it is and when you have it sent to the saw doctor next time you can have
them retoothed.
The price is reduced for the broken tooth and a bit of
rust marks. |
