In Japanese, ”Dozuki”means ”tenon shoulder”.Most Dozuki saws are filed with crosscut teeth for those tenon shoulder cuts, but this saw is specifically designed with true rip-cut teeth at a fine 18 TPI. The proper name for this type of rip-tooth back saw is “Hozohiki.” However, ”Dozuki”has somewhat changed meanings over time and is now mainly used to describe any Japanese saw with a ”back”.This dovetail was carefully designed to quickly and accurately make those critical rip cuts and leave an ultra-smooth surface needed for dovetails, tenon cheeks, and other fine rip cuts.

The high-grade SK85 Japanese tool steel blade is 240mm (9.5”) long.The fine 0.3mm (0.011”)blade is supported by abrass back and secured with brass hardware which makes blade replacement easy.

The handle is made of Japanese Wingnut (in the walnut family) and is stained a rich dark brown colour. The blade has a rounded end to help users quickly distinguish it from thecrosscut version that has a squared end.

Expertly crafted in Japan, Temple Tool Co. blends legendary Japanese craftsmanship with our signature Western aesthetics.
