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.

Yanipika Tool Cleaner Spray - 100mL
Yanipika Tool Cleaner is perfect for keeping your outdoor blades free from residue and build-up of sap.
Whether getting rid of large limbs with a pair of loppers, pruning with secateurs, shaping topiary with shears, or trimming with scissors, tree and plant resin inevitably will find it's way onto the blades of your hardest working tools.
This build-up contains moisture which can lead to rust, and it's presence can prevent the flat blades of scissor-style tools from moving smoothly over each other.
Pruning saws can also loose their effectiveness as sap builds up in the gullies between their teeth.
Spray 2 or 3 times to the surface to be cleaned, leave it on for 20 seconds, wipe dry and apply camellia oil as a final touch. For extra tough jobs, leave it on for no more than 60 seconds. This process also provides a level of protection form transferring infection or bacteria from plant to plant.
