This saw has been an absolute joy to use and I only use it in hardwood. The problems others are having sounds more like user error than tool error. You cannot go attacking wood with this saw like it's a western saw and trying to power your way through. If you're getting chatter it's most likely because you're cutting the wood in the wrong direction. Instead of cutting from the end to the face, cut from the face of the wood to the end. Chatter gone.

The right tool for a specific task. This thing cross cuts like a champ. The kerf is very thin which can actually be a hindrance at times, especially if you skip the blade out and have re-enter to finish the cut. I have a push cut dovetail saw with a different tooth configuration for rip cuts.

I'm a beginner woodworker and had this saw a little more than a month ago. The control of the cut with this "pull saw" was a delightful experience. The cut is so thin and clear that it has helped me to gain confidence in my cuts with samll parts. I wouldn't be without a "pull saw" from now on. I will experience other Japanese saws for other uses. Only thing is that you most be careful using it because it's almost impossible to sharpen it. The teeth are hard and will hold it's sharpness for a long time. But if you use it without care on hard woods, they could break and then you will need a replacement blade, I already sent for mine, just in case.
I really recomend this buy to all woodworkers that haven't used these saws, they are just great.

I've been using Dozuki saws for about 5 years now. They give you precise control over your cut and are by far, the best saw that I have found for working the small strips necessary for cedar strip canoes, kayaks and my current Teardrop Trailer project!!! I would recommend buying a second replacement blade if you have demanding needs, particularly with hardwoods.

This saw worked excellently for me as a beginner woodworker. It was adequately sturdy and precise to help me grow in skills and learn about dovetails and other handsaw joinery. I keep on finding new ways to use it. I purchased it a year ago and bought a replacement blade after a year of active use. It was still sharp and effective, but was missing a few teeth from frequent use on hardwoods.

Great saw for softwoods. Do not touch a peice of hardwood with it! Was great on cedar but the moment it took a look at a peice of white oak its teeth started chattering. Within the first five strokes those chattering teeth from fear started falling out. Don't remember seeing anything on the product when deciding which to purchase that said anything about not to use on hardwoods.

Absolutely useless for hardwoods or plywood. The teeth break very easily. Other dozuki saws that I own work fine in hardwood.

The saw works just fine until the teeth start breaking off. I've had two of these and don't want to spend any more money on these flimsy blades. I'll get a western style dovetail saw instead.

If you plan on using this saw on hardwoods forget it, the teeth crumble with very little use. Seeing how I seldom work with softwoods this saw was a bad purchase.
