‧ Blade length: 180mm ‧ Blade thickness: plate: 0.3mm ‧ TS 1.5mm ‧ Carbon Steel blade (JIS:SK95) ‧ HRC53±1 The 180mm Gyokucho Jushi Saws are designed for the finest cuts in both hard and soft woods. With a universal tooth pattern they are especially suited for making dovetail and other wood joints, as well as for all precision cuts across and along the grain. Shorter than the standard version of the Gyokucho, it will fit in most tool boxes. This saw has a conventional stiffener over 85% of its length and cuts with the traditional Japanese pull stroke. The cutting edge is impulsed hardened to HV900-1200 for extended wear. If the blade ever becomes dull or damaged, it can be easily replaced by loosening the lock built into the featured comfortable Eva Grip handle.
