Temple Tool Japanese Pull Saw 9.5 Ryoba – Dual-Edge Rip & Crosscut

Overview

The Temple Tool Japanese Pull Saw 9.5 Ryoba blends traditional craft with practical versatility. With a pull-cut design and a thin kerf, this compact hand saw helps you approach stock prep and joinery with control, producing clean edges and precise fits without excessive effort.

Dual-Edge Design for Versatile Cuts

One edge uses rip teeth for cutting along the grain, while the opposite edge features crosscut teeth for cutting across the grain. This dual functionality supports a wide range of tasks, from trimming stock to forming light joinery and finishing components to length and width.

• Rip-cut edge enables accurate sizing along the grain
• Crosscut edge handles precise cross-grain work

Craft, Materials, and Ergonomics

Constructed from durable Japanese steel, the blade maintains a sharp edge for repeated use across soft and hardwoods. A dark brown Wingnut wooden handle, accented with brass, provides a comfortable, balanced grip that feels steady in hand and reduces fatigue during longer sessions.

• Long-lasting sharpness across a range of woods
• Ergonomic, comfortable handle for steady control

Real-World Scenarios

Whether you’re building dovetails, refining tenons, or sizing a cutting board to exact length and width, this Ryoba supports a smooth workflow. The pull-stroke action helps you guide the blade with confidence along your layout lines, delivering tidy edges with less chatter.

From hobby projects to more involved joinery, you’ll find this saw adaptable to tasks that benefit from a light touch and focused accuracy.

Care and Maintenance

After use, wipe the blade clean and dry. Store with a light coating of oil to maintain rust resistance, and periodically inspect the teeth for alignment and bite to preserve performance.

Why Choose This Saw

The combination of dual-edge teeth, a refined Japanese steel blade, and a crafted Wingnut handle reflects a heritage of woodworking craftsmanship. It offers a precise, controlled cutting experience without overpromising results, making it a thoughtful addition to a woodworker’s toolkit.
