The high-quality materials can be seen and felt at first glance.

The saw blade consists of hardened special steel with coarse and fine teeth and the handle made of rubberized plastic. The screw to change the blade is very handy and optically marked so that the user can immediately see in which direction to turn to loosen or fasten the blade. It is worth highlighting the protective cover included in the package stable artificial leather. This prevents damage after use and ensures a safe storage and accordingly protects against injuries.

We enjoyed working with the Japanese saw during the test. Unusual for beginners, the saw does not cut forwards with pressure, but by pulling. The advantage here is that the saw blade always stays straight and turns does not bend. As a result, are very precise cuts possible. Due to the two different serrations on the two sides of the blade, cuts are possible along and across the wood grain very little effort clean and easy to do. The saw blade is very sharp and, thanks to the long, rubberized handle, is easy to hold. The Japanese saw from Zenventure is a very good and practical tool that laypeople can also use clean working allows. Thanks to the replaceable saw blade and the simple packaging, it is also sustained and saves resources.
