Mini Kataba Saw
This Mini Saw is a professional-grade Japanese craft saw created for precision cutting and intricate woodworking. Its compact 120 mm blade offers exceptional manoeuvrability, making it easy to work accurately in confined spaces and around delicate details.
Each thin, high-hardness steel blade is individually heat-treated and adjusted by a skilled artisan. This exacting process balances lasting durability with a light, effortless pull stroke. The thin blade also requires only a minimal tooth set—the lateral spread of the teeth—helping it leave an exceptionally smooth, clean surface that requires less finishing.
Available with two specialist blade profiles, the Sennen-Zakura can be selected to suit different working styles. The Improved blade cuts smoothly in multiple directions relative to the wood grain, while the R-Blade reduces the contact area for an even lighter pulling action.
A genuine paulownia wood handle completes the tool. Lightweight and comfortable in the hand, paulownia naturally absorbs moisture to help maintain a secure grip during extended periods of detailed work.
Blade options
Improved blade: Designed for smooth cutting with, across or diagonally to the wood grain
R-Blade: Shaped to reduce surface contact and provide a lighter, smoother pull
