Japanese Saws
#8
I'm ready to venture, but I don't know any brands.  Most of my hand tools are LN and LV with some vintage Stanleys.  

Any advice?  Brands?

Mine are from Menards.  No brag in ownining them, but they cut wood like a champ.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

Hail St. Roy, Full of Grace, The Schwarz is with thee.
Blessed art thou among woodworkers, and blessed is the fruit of thy saw, dovetails.
Holy St. Roy, Master of Chisels, pray for us sharpeners now, and at the hour of planing.
Amen.
$300 is a lot of Money!

Best little 12" flush cut saw I've had I got from HF. The Japanese saws are much better all around and no comparison, but for 9 bucks this thing keeps going and doing a great job. Even made a few dovetails with it.
