In Japanese, “Dozuki” translates to “tenon shoulder”. A tenon shoulder requires a precise crosscut and this saw is filed with fine crosscut teeth at 25 TPI and a thin 0.011” blade making it superbly accurate, fast, and smooth cutting. Specifically designed for tenon shoulders, dovetail shoulders, Kumiko, and other fine crosscutting jobs in soft or hard woods.

The high-grade SK85 Japanese tool steel blade is 240mm (9.5”) long, which we consider a standard length saw. The blade is supported by a premium solid brass back and secured with brass hardware making the saw sturdy but allows for quick and easy blade replacement.

The handle made of Japanese Wingnut (in the walnut family) is stained a rich dark brown color and accented with natural rattan wraps for added beauty, comfort, and grip. The blade has a squared end to help users quickly distinguish it from our rip-cut version that has a rounded end.

Expertly crafted in Japan, Temple Tool Co. blends legendary Japanese craftsmanship with our signature Western aesthetics to create timeless tools that perform as good as they look.

This is a go-to saw for beginners or professionals wanting a dedicated fine crosscut saw. Match this saw with our Rip-Cut version for a truly dynamic pair of saws to handle any fine joinery needs with The "Joinery Master" Dozuki Combo!
