Beschreibung
In Japanese, Dozuki means „tenon shoulder“. However, Dozuki has somewhat changed meanings over
time and is now mainly used to describe any Japanese saw with a back.
Temple Tool’s 240mm (9.5″) Dozuki saws use high-grade SK85 Japanese tool steel blades supported by
premium solid brass backs and secured with brass hardware. The handle is made of Japanese Wingnut
(in the walnut family). It is stained a rich dark brown color and accented with natural rattan wraps for
added beauty, comfort, and grip.
Expertly crafted in Japan, Temple Tool blends legendary Japanese craftsmanship with their signature
Western aesthetics to create timeless tools that perform as good as they look.

Rip Saw
Most Dozuki saws are filed with crosscut teeth for those tenon shoulder cuts, but this saw is
specifically designed with true rip-cut teeth at a fine 18 TPI. The proper name for this type of
rip-tooth back saw is „Hozohiki“. The blade has a rounded end to help users quickly distinguish
it from our crosscut version that has a squared end.
