Beschreibung
The Kataba is a single-edge general purpose saw with universal teeth that have a combination of crosscut and rip-cut teeth. A longer
saw at 265mm long with medium aggressive TPI making it ideal for general purpose work, dimensioning stock, and medium to large
joinery such as Tenons.
Kataba translates to single edge. Kataba saws can come in a wide variety of shapes, tooth grinds (for Rip or Crosscutting), different
TPI, and lengths for a wide variety of tasks. This is a “General Purpose Universal-Cut” saw which meets the widest range of
general woodworking tasks. The blade is 265mm with a fairly aggressive universal cut tooth pattern at 14.4 TPI. The Universal teeth
have a series of crosscut and hybrid rip teeth along its cutting edge that allows the saw to crosscut, rip-cut, and diagonally cut
equally well.
The size, TPI, and universal teeth make this saw a great general purpose saw for dimensioning stock and cutting medium to large joinery.
The Kataba is similar to the Double-Edge Ryoba in that it excels in a wide range of general purpose tasks. However the Kataba is
preferred over the Ryoba by some craftsman who make many deep cuts into and through wood. Because the Kataba only has one edge it
doesn’t bind in the cut like a Ryoba might that has a trailing edge with teeth that might bind in the saw kerf.
The blade is made of premium SK85 Japanese tool steel and the teeth are impulse hardened for extreme sharpness and durability. The
blade is easily replaceable. The handle is made of Japanese Wingnut, stained a dark rich color and wrapped with natural rattan
wraps for attractive contrasting aesthetics and increased grip.
