    The most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life was a Japanese woodworker who makes these ornate wooded boxes. I think you can find the videos on youtube.

    • @suburbanhobbyist2752
      @suburbanhobbyist2752 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I take it you don't believe him that it was sharp? I agree though that it's not really fair using a crosscut saw against a combo cut saw for a rip cut. Still, no way that whaleback was going to keep up with the newer tech in the katanaboy. Ergonomics alone were going to give the new saw a huge advantage.

    @andrewdimartino7426 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome, I was hoping you'd get one of these! You'd be more familiar with the nuances than I, but I've only ever seen those whalebacks used for rip-cutting a log and they use a posture I've never seen before. They pull at a downward angle from 10 to 4 o'clock, put their weight on their back leg and do sort of a mini squat as they pull. It could make all the difference or none at all idk, but it'd be cool to hear you're take, so I figured id throw it out there for what its worth.

    If I may add something anecdotally; I have seen the Japanese using those old saws and one thing I noticed different was how they stood. The log was lower down and they cut on an angle with the tip toward the ground so the handle was nearly parallel to the ground. I don't know exactly how much of a difference this makes in the amount of effort required, but I would assume it would at least make the handle more ergonomic to use.

    I've got a little tip sir. You should pull it a little bit down when you're pulling. if you cut straight you can not get the full potential for this kind of saw.
    Then the log should be lower so you kinda bend your body a little bit and pull the saw until your hand touching your thigh.

    You should compare the silky to a race filed peg and raker saw. I used to do timbersports in college and I know that the silky would be destroyed against that. An m tooth crosscut like they use in professional timber sports would be even faster. They take a bit of proper form and practice though because the teeth are very aggressive.

    Triangle teeth are for ripping, the crosscutting ones are finer, and closer together, furthermore the have another edge angle.

    The only thing about the saw handle that would provide an advantage would be. To cut logs that you are standing on. Use the saw below your waist. Assuming the culture while logging the way they harvested there lumber would have given way to a unique handle design that was ment to be used a particular way.
    That's just a guess I have no actual research involved in this educated guess as to why and how to use the saw at it's best potential.
    Everything is done with purpose when it comes to tool engineering. So there has to be a reason for the design of the shape. And since the cut is on the pull stroke if what your cutting is under your feet pulling would be peferd for control while cutting lumber. Lift the blade and pull back to get your angle on the cut. Again I have no experience with this saw and have never seen one befor either so I could be compleatly wrong but that's how I think it is probably best used.

    I also wondered just not having the first clue about Japanese saws if maybe this isn't for ripping? Just a thought

    It is probaly a Temagori Nokogiri Japanese crosscut saw, from a little research on the internet.

    Pretty sure that old saw is for joinery... it's tall so you can keep the cuts vertical easier and the flat teeth profile is for making sure the bottom of your joint is flat. For precision, not speed...

    I imagine there is a rocking motion you are supposed to make while using one of these saws.

    I wanted to say that while the first axe may not be two handed in your experience, you are much larger than your average Japanese man so they may be able to grip it with two hands more easily & control that angle more easily as well given the enhanced grip.

    GOOD saws cut on the pull.

    The old one is definitely not made for cross cut.
    Its for Standing up or under a tree, which makes the handle better for pulling it from under you upwards or vice versa Its only made for Rip Cuts. Katana Boy is CrossCut though.

    Big thumbs up for you Cody for hanging in there with the whaleback ripsaw. Man it must have hurt using it cross cutting! But you were a real trooper Till the end! And anyone could have guessed that the katana boy would be faster and cost less energy as it's designed for crosscutting. But I like these vids of yours anyway!

    Cody the "Whale Back Saw" is a ripping saw.
    The Silky is NOT a ripping saw.
    You have a Ryoba (double sided Japanese Saw) look at the teeth on that saw, one side is ripping, the large triangle shaped teeth (like the Whale Back Saw) and the other side is crosscut teeth, long and pointy (Like the Silky saw).
    Try ripping a log with both and see the difference.
    Still a great video, enjoyed it.
    Cheers!

    Ones a throw away and replace saw after lots of use, ones a lifetime saw/antique.
