Description:
These Zetsaw Dozuki 150 Japanese Saw Starter Kits are ideal for anyone wishing to get into using Japanese saws (noko-giri). Each of the three kits available contain a handle and four interchangeable blades, suitable for most hobby needs.
Any one of these kits would make for a great birthday or Christmas gift for family members or friends.
The Dozuki has been the mainstay of professional cabinet makers, temple builders, furniture restorers, etc., for centuries. It is typically used for fine joint work of solid timber, but these kits also contain a blade specifically designed for use on soft metals and plastics.

Kit Contents:
Each kit comes with the same four interchangeable blades. 1x Zetsaw Fine 150, 1x Zetsaw Hardwood 150, 1x Zetsaw Piercing 150 and 1x Zetsaw Handy150 Fine Craft.
The only decision you have to make is; What type of handle would you like?
Rattan - If you want to go for that authentic Japanese aesthetic, choose the rattan-wrapped solid wood handle. Rattan is in short supply, globally, so grab this kit whilst they're still available.
Handy150 - If you prefer a more contemporary look and feel, then take a look at this classy white plastic handle with a black elastomer skin. The flared end provides a comfortable, slip-resistant grip.
Non-rattan - If your needs are purely practical, then look no further than this blue plastic handle, also with a black elastomer skin and flared back end.
