An affordable Japanese saw

Japanese hand saws are sometimes labelled as expensive tools because of their high quality. Of course, it is possible to spend 150 euros on a very special Japanese saw, but this is not at all necessary. Most woodworkers can use a cheaper Japan saw for their work. We are happy to explain why Japanese saws are actually very affordable.

Did you know that you can already buy an authentic Japanese saw for about 27 euros? And that most of the saws in this shop cost less than 35 euros?

These cheaper saws have all the unique features of the Japanese saws, think of the characteristic steel quality, the easy handling and the very precise cutting result.

With most saws it is possible to put another saw blade in the handle. The biggest advantage is that other saw blades can be placed in the handle. It is therefore possible to put a replacement saw blade (of the same type) or a saw blade for a completely different application in the handle. In this way, your coarse beam saw becomes a fine plastic saw in no time at all.

It is therefore sufficient to buy only a new saw blade after the initial purchase and it is then no longer necessary to buy a complete saw again. This makes the Japanese saws even more versatile and affordable.

In addition, the replaceable saw blade makes it possible to replace a saw blade if the saw has been damaged despite the high hardness of the steel. This means that instead of buying a completely new saw, you only have to buy a new saw blade, very advantageous therefore.

Our favourites among the affordable saws

Looking for an affordable Japanese saw? Below you will find some of our favourite items. These saws are among the best quality hand saws and are good value for money.

What then makes the difference between the cheaper and the most expensive saws? The most expensive saws have an even stronger saw blade made of very high quality carbon steel, which makes them even finer without losing strength. The result is greater precision when sawing, a perfect cut and an even longer life, which is sought after above all by furniture makers and artists. These saws require experience and skill.

For those who are not yet familiar with Japanese sawing or have no woodworking specialisation, it is not necessary to consider tools in this price range.
