Anyone recognise this type of Japanese saw?

[RogerS]

This thread discussed my abortive attempts to remove the blade in a saw that I brought back from Japan. I've just found 10 assorted blades for the same type of saw but having totally destroyed the handle in my abortive attempts, I need to buy another saw. But where from? Does anyone recognise this type of saw?

Thanks

Axminster sell these.

Mmm...it's hard to tell from the photo if they are the ones with a knurled knob that fastens the blade.

From the description;

"The blades of these particular saws are replaceable and are held securely in the wrapped handle by a simple screw....... "

Ahah...so they're not the same. Thanks for the clarification, Brian

I will have a look in Tokyo Hands next time I am near but it would help if you could tell me where you got it. I do not remember seeing that type of saw. here are some samples from Joyful Honda Japanese saws

I may not be able to get to Joyful Honda until April as I will be out of Japan from the 21st of this month.

PM me if you want help.
