{"product_id":"vintage-japanese-240mm-ryoba-saw-ikusaburo-kanei","title":"Vintage Japanese 240mm Ryoba Saw by Ikusaburo (Kanei)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vintage Japanese ryoba is a 240mm double-edge pull saw sold under the Ikusaburo name and Kanei trademark, and made by Akamatsu Brothers Saw Works in Miki, Hyogo, one of Japan’s best-known toolmaking regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example appears to be a post-1980s production piece, with signs of later factory manufacture including a TIG-welded tang and machine-applied blade finish. That makes it a later vintage saw rather than an earlier hand-finished pre-1980s example, but it still carries the strong practical appeal of a proper Japanese ryoba with a slender pull-saw plate, two cutting edges, and a traditional wrapped handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat lifts this one above a standard vintage user is the survival of its original blue cloth blade wrap, price stickers, and maker insert card. Those details give it much better period character and make it more complete than most loose vintage saws that turn up without packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe insert names the maker as Akamatsu Brothers Saw Works and places them in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. It also states that the Ikusaburo saw line had been developed over more than a century of study and production, and highlights the company’s focus on cutting performance, toughness, special heat treatment, and after-sales support. Whether bought as a user, a display piece, or both, this is a neat later-vintage ryoba with unusually intact original accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"East-West Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41085935026248,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/5994\/9128\/files\/Vintage_Japanese_240mm_Ryoba_Saw_by_Ikusaburo_Kanei_8623e317-df5e-42cc-ae12-8fe5c1bc1fa2.jpg?v=1776492195","url":"https:\/\/eastwesttools.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-240mm-ryoba-saw-ikusaburo-kanei","provider":"East-West Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
