If you find this saw irresistible when looking at a photo, just try holding it in your hands. Delicate in appearance only, this mini kariwaku is a fully functional saw that just happens to be an approximately 1:4-scale version of its full-size counterpart.
Elegantly crafted for cutting in confined spaces and intricate work, it was designed by a Japanese sawmaker renowned for making saws for shrine and temple carpenters.
A tapered profile allows the kariwaku easier access to smaller, more constricted areas. The 2 3/8" long, 25 tpi (0.45mm kerf) blade is filed in a crosscut pattern. It tapers from 0.4mm thick at the heel to 0.3mm at the toe to prevent binding in the kerf and has been hardened to Rc52.
The paulownia handle is hand-wrapped with rattan. Made in Japan.
It can also be purchased with the mini ryoba and dozuki saws as a set of three.
