What Sets Our Tools Apart

Vintage authenticity

This Yoshmitsu Ryoba Saw is offered as true vintage new old stock. Preserved in unused condition, it represents a piece of Japanese woodworking history. Each saw retains its original handle and blade finish, providing a direct link to the craftsmen and methods of the past. Collectors and users alike will value its rarity and authenticity.

Two edges in one tool

As a double-edged ryoba, this saw combines rip and crosscut patterns on one blade. That means fewer tool changes and more efficient work in the shop. Whether cutting along the grain or across it, the 270mm blade provides balanced reach and accuracy. This design has long been favoured in Japanese joinery for its versatility.

Crafted for performance

Made from Japanese high carbon steel, the blade offers excellent sharpness and resilience. The rattan-wrapped handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip even in extended use. While vintage in origin, these materials and methods continue to deliver performance that matches or surpasses many modern saws, making it suitable for practical work as well as display.
