Product Review

The HACHIEMON MOROTEGAKE is an artisan's saw, each one skilfully hand finished by a craftsman using the traditional Japanese "MOROTEGAKE" technique. Saws finished with the "MOROTEGAKE" technique have lines the texture of silk crepe on the surface of the blade. These vertical lines reduce the drag of each stroke and smoothly remove shavings.

The HACHIEMON MOROTEGAKE is also double bladed, with a ripping blade and a crosscutting blade. The ripping blade is designed to cut along the grain of the wood, and can even be used to cut through hard woods. The crosscutting blade is more precise the the ripping blade when cutting perpendicular to the grain of the wood.
