I have recently purchased a set of
GYOKUCHO Japanese saws which I am enjoying and finding much easier to use then Western style saws.

While reading my copy of Japanese woodworking tools their tradition spirit and use
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144 ... king_Tools
Page 51 has an interesting section on the tooth profile of these saws suggesting that traditionally different versions of the same style of saw were produced for cutting softwood and hardwood.
I can't find any reference to softwood and hardwood versions of modern razor Japanese saws with disposable blades.
Does anyone know if Japanese saws are still manufactured with a different angle for soft and hardwood?
Hoping that this can stimulate a broad ranging but concise and respectful discussion of individual opinions.
Thanks
