anyone ever use one of these (or a variation of it)?

I picked up one in a discount store awhile back for a couple of bucks just to see.

Had to cut some t&g panelling today and my normal handsaw was chewing it up and beating me up. I got this thing out and tried it on a stack of 10 pieces in shrink wrap and was through it in less than a minute and never broke a sweat. I had to know, so tried it on a piece of plywood and cut up an old pallet and it went through like butter.

Not selling or endorseing, just thought I'd share the experience.

Japaneese saws are very nice as long as you aren't trying to cut anything to heavy. I like that since they cut on the pull stroke, the kerf can be thinner, thus you are cutting less material and overall easier. They are nice for cutting plugs flush.

I have had one for about 20 years now. It really works great and cuts a THIN kerf. Excellent tool.

Good japanese saws are incredibly sharp. You do need to be careful because they are very thin and easy to break. (They cut on the pull stroke.)

I buy my japanese tools from the Japan Woodworker. They've been around for a good twenty years and all their stuff is first rate. I bought a japanese kitchen knife a while back for my wife and she loves it.

I bought one at Harbor Freight that just did a fair job of cutting. Then son gave me an authentic Japanese saw that is really great. Just have to remember that it cuts on the pull stroke instead of the push stroke.
