Nice demo Greg and Mitch, the sound of the ryoba is such a great sound. Looking forward to more videos Cheers, Tony

hey, thanks for this video! I'm always trying to educate Western woodworkers on Japanese saws, and I'll be sharing this video a lot.

I wish this video existed when I bought my first Japanese saw

[@bigkiv47]

great info guys. Just about to get into kumiko so great that you covered the saw for that.... :)

I've seen lots of videos on Japanese saws as of late. I noticed sometimes you can purchase saws specifically listed as " for hardwood". Is this important if you are cutting into hardwoods, or is it ok to buy the "regular" listed Japanese saws? And can you use to cut into softwoods to with these "hardwood" saws. I don't see a lot of TH-cam videos mention the specifically designed hardwood Japanese saws or if you have to go through the trouble of buying it specifically to cut into hardwoods. Your thoughts? thx

Is there any way I can get in contact with Greg? I have some questions that I'd love to ask him if he has time.

I first used a Japanese saw 30 years ago and can't understand why they aren't more popular. The main downside is it's easy to cut your leg if you're wearing shorts.
