Gyokucho, also known as Razorsaw, was founded on 3 March 1969 in Miki, Hyōgo, the centre of Japan's hand-tool industry. The company developed the replaceable-blade Japanese saw, which changed how carpenters work: instead of sending a dull saw away for sharpening, you simply fit a fresh blade.
The business became a company in 1972, set up its sales arm Gyokucho Sangyo in 1975, and moved into its current Miki headquarters in 1981. In 2009 it opened its Miki Kajiya-mura division, keeping traditional saw-making skills alive alongside modern production.
Gyokucho makes a wide range of pull saws, from ryoba and dozuki to flush-cut and folding saws. Their thin blades and sharp, hardened teeth cut fast and clean, and the company remains a favourite of Japanese carpenters and woodworkers worldwide.

The Gyokucho TRONC series is a line of Japanese hand saws know for their compact size, high quality construction and striped handles made from layers of maple and cherry wood.
These saws are designed for precise work, with features like impulse-hardened, nickel plated wear-resistant teeth for cutting various materials, including exotic hardwoods and composite boards making them suitable for detailed work in woodworking and DIY projects.
The tip of the blade is curved. With such structure, you can make holes on a flat surface. Ideal for carpentry work. Crosscut saws cut wood fibers at certain width. If you use crosscut saw for making rip cut, you cannot make smooth and easy cuts.
Hijirime is making variation on the height of the teeth edges. It greatly improves cutting quality. Lower edges removes saw dust. By putting sets on the teeth, it prevents the blade from being stuck in between the material.
Available in different blade types such as Dozuki, Ryoba and Atsuba. Comes boxed making it the perfect gift.
