Japanese Pull Saws - Rutlands Special Offer

[Mike]

Hi Jamie

Welcome to BBJW. Japan is one country I haven't been to but was always interested in. I worked for the Japanese embassy in Sydney many long years ago and found them the best employers I've ever known and the most friendly, and caring, people.

I have enormous respect for them as a nation, though that view was not common among Australians at the time.

It came as no surprise to me really that their tools had some features about them that were unique and of the highest quality.

Interesting first post, Jamie, and I look forward to hearing more on the subject of sharpening, especially with waterstones, which is something I have not yet tried. I still use what my father did; oil stones. And I haven't moved away from that, simply because I knew it worked well. Have heard many say that waterstones are vastly superior, so must give them a try.

Best wishes
