It features a pre-1980s hand-forged carbon steel blade with a forge-welded tang, hand-set teeth, visible yellow heat treatment and a hand-chiselled signature at the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many later machine-made saws, this piece still shows the character of traditional workshop production. The forge-welded tang is one of the clearest signs of older construction, while the hand-set teeth and blade finish reflect manual work rather than later high-volume manufacturing methods. The blade also shows the visible yellow heat treatment typical of eastern Japan, often associated with older Japanese saws of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a double-edged ryoba, giving you two tooth patterns on one blade for different cutting tasks. One side is suited to rip work with the grain, while the other is for crosscutting across the grain. That makes it a practical choice for joinery, general woodworking and anyone who wants the feel of an older Japanese saw rather than a modern replaceable-blade model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all vintage saws, light surface marking, patina and signs of age are part of the appeal. These are not defects to hide. They are part of what separates an older hand-finished saw from a modern production tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor buyers who value older Japanese toolmaking, this is the type of saw that is getting harder to find: pre-1980s, forge-welded, hand-set and still carrying the evidence of how it was made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"East-West Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41087079284808,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/5994\/9128\/files\/Vintage_Japanese_Ryoba_Saw_210mm_with_Forge-Welded_Tang.jpg?v=1776761175","url":"https:\/\/eastwesttools.com.au\/products\/vintage-japanese-ryoba-saw-210mm-with-forge-welded-tang","provider":"East-West Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
