Excellent!!
I have two, a dozuki and a coarser, two sided ripper. Once you remember to oull, not push, they are SO easy tonuse, great finish, would unhesitatingly buy again. Replaceable blades are common.

they are great.
so are western saws.
neither will make you cut in a straight line if you use them wrong.

I use both. I like Japanese tools. If I am doing serious ripping by hand, or heavy duty crosscuts in say an oak beam, western is faster for me. I like Japanese for precision work - the pull stroke feels very natural.

I find it harder to cut square, compared to a backsaw. Then again, I'm not perfect with either. Maybe the fact that I played with my dad's carpentry tools 55 years ago means I'm more comfortable with traditional western saws.
