Kataba: Saw without Back
The Kataba is a single sided saw without back. The blade of the Kataba saw is thicker (mostly 0.5 mm) than the blade of a Dozuki saw (mostly 0.3 mm). The thicker blade does not need a rigid back and therefore this saw can be used for deep and long cuts. This saw we recommend as general purpose saw because it makes clean and fast cuts and is inexpensive. Kataba saws are available with crosscut and ripcut teeth. If you do both crosscutting and ripping, and only want to own one saw, we recommend the fine teeth ripcut saw. Click on the images for a magnified view!
JUUMA Kataba Saws with impulse hardened teeth
Juuma saws offer good quality and a good price. They are made in Japan. The teeth are laser-hardened, and are designed for wood and the various wood-based products. The blade on these saws is easy to take off, and so the saw can be easily tucked away in a tool box and is an indispensable companion in the workshop or a job site. The blades are interchangeable.
A great saw for a very good price for all kinds of cross cuts. The depth of cut is not limited. The blade fits other JUUMA Katabas as well as the Kataba saw made by Bakuma and many other Kataba saws with the same blade length.
A great saw for a very good price for all kinds of fine rip sawing such as dovetails and tenons. Not exactly as fine as a ripcut dozuki, but the depth of cut is not limited. The ideal saw in connection with the VERITAS dovetail guide. The blade fits other JUUMA Katabas as well as the Kataba saw made by Bakuma and many other Kataba saws with the same blade length.
This Kataba is good for nearly all types of ripcut, specially for those who do not like to make ripcuts with the Ryoba saws, which has teeth on both sides of the blade. The blade fits other JUUMA Katabas as well as the Kataba saw made by Bakuma and many other Kataba saws with the same blade length. A coarse ripcut saw allows fast cutting!
LIFESAW Kataba Saws

Näher an westlichen Sägegewohnheiten ist das Design dieser Säge mit abgewinkeltem Pistolengriff. Üblicherweise sind die Blätter japanischer Sägen vorne breiter als hinten am Griff. Bei dieser Säge ist die Blattbreite jedoch durchgehend 63 mm und erinnert damit trotz der Anwendung auf Zug an die westliche Feinsäge. Diese Säge ist mit dieser Form genau abgestimmt auf die vom gleichen Hersteller stammende Sägeführung für Gehrungsschnitte und rechtwinklige Schnitte. Beide zusammen sind ein perfektes Paar. Die Zahnspitzenhärtung sichert eine lange Standzeit. Der Sägeblattwechsel geht einfach und schnell. Die Verzahnung ist abgestimmt auf Querschnitte und Diagonalschnitte. Man kann damit gelegentlich auch mal einen Längsschnitt durchführen, aber da da ist diese Säge längst nicht so schnell wie eine reine Längsschnittsäge. Hergestellt in Japan unter Verwendung neuester Technologien der Handsägenherstellung.

High tech and modern design of SILKY Saws
The new Silky Tsubasa saw has a tapered blade and no set on the teeth. The blade can be exchanged with a single action by means of a quick and easy to use lever. The blade is protected in a hard clear plastic case, so no leather sheath is necessary. With this saw you make great cuts even in large pieces of wood. Recommended for carpentry!
As above, but with finer teeth! Recommended for fine carpentry and cabinetmaking! Both blades are exchangeable!
THE saw for the carpenter and for all woodwork that must be quick and clean. Designed for crosscut. With its usual well-tested quality, Silky has at last filled the niche for a folding Japanese kataba saw. Anyone who must take their tools on the road will treasure this saw. The blade is ground so that the blade becomes thinner toward the back. The saw is full-width only near the teeth. That way Silky can forgo setting the teeth without having the blade bind in the wood, which provides an unusually clean and precise cut. The teeth are impulse hardened and the blade is chrome finished. The handle is aluminium covered with rubber for a firm grip in all conditions.
Blade length: 240 mm
Blade width: 48 mm
Blade thickness: 0.75 mm,
in center of blade 0.5 mm

Similar to the saw pictured above, but with finer teeth. This saw is made for fine joinery. The teeth are designed for crosscutting. With its usual, well-proven quality, Silky has at last filled the niche for a folding Japanese kataba saw. Anyone who has occasion to travel with their tools will treasure this saw. The tooth size of only a milimeter is, for a kataba in this size, unusually fine. The saw is ground so that the blade becomes thinner toward the back edge. The blade is full width only near the teeth. That way Silky can forgo setting the teeth without having the blade bind in the wood, while allowing an unusually clean and fine cut. The teeth are impulse hardened, and the blade has a hard chrome finish. The handle is made of aluminium covered with rubber for a firm grip in all conditions. More photos
