I've been a GW customer since the late 70's and am still using handtools from GW that I purchased over 25 years ago. The quality is that good. Great company. The coolest stuff. Thanks again, -NP
Thank you for your conscientious and admirable customer service ethic. Another reason why I shop with you. -Serge
Japanese saws cut quickly and smoothly, and are a joy to use. Because they cut on the pull (not the push) stroke, the blade is in tension during use, so it can be thinner with a much finer kerf. Bowing is eliminated, and set can be minimized. Great control over the cut is the result. We recommend the following four as an excellent cross-section.
We use the 9 1/2" saw for all our wood surfboard building needs. It's fast, sharp and dead on accurate. I've used one blade for at least 9 years and it's about time to replace the blade. Got my money's worth on this tool. One for every wood worker's tool box. Blind Dog Surfboards
Because they cut on the pull (not the push) stroke, I can saw. The blade uses my strength. These saws make a beautiful clean cut too. They are very light weight and sturdy. I used them after Hurricane Ike to saw tree limbs.
These saws have have been used for several projects and have been a joy to use. The flush cutting saw has been especially useful as I use pegs extensively on my projects.
