Additional Information: This saw is in unused condition, with some surface rust on the blade that does not affect its functionality. It was sourced from the estate of a retired carpenter in the Tohoku region of Japan. Based on my observations, the sharpening and tooth-setting ('Metate') are of exceptional quality, and the tooth profile is ideally suited for processing harder timber.
