Japanese Convex Crosscut Kataba

A backless saw, a kataba has a stiff blade and fast-cutting teeth for making deep cuts. This crosscut-pattern saw is ideal for sawing rough stock to length and for timber framing and large-scale joinery. The 10 7/16" long blade has 14.5 tpi; it also makes an efficient general-purpose crosscut saw for those who prefer Japanese saws.
