Nakaya has been making saws in Sanjō, Niigata, since 1907, the 40th year of the Meiji era. For more than a century the company has built its reputation on Japanese hand saws, and today it makes both replaceable-blade saws and the machines used to sharpen saw blades.
Sanjō is one of Japan's oldest metalworking towns, and Nakaya draws on that tradition while using modern manufacturing to keep its blades consistent. Its ryoba, dozuki and flush-cut saws have thin, precisely set blades that cut quickly and leave a clean finish, making them a reliable choice for carpenters, joiners and furniture makers.
