Nokogiri 鋸: These are special Japanese saws widely used throughout Southern and Eastern Asia. Unlike European saws, which cut on the push stroke, nokogiri are designed for pull cutting. This design offers greater cutting precision and requires less effort from the craftsman. Because the blade does not bend when pulled, it produces a straighter cut compared to push-style saws.
