In the Schlosser teaching one gets taught "The teeth of the saw daily away from you!) and as you do that then also time life. If you do not happen to have a Japanese pull saw once gets into their own hands and then you learn that if you cut to train the work is more easily controlled and done. The saw itself is very beautiful! Very good in quality and saws like the devil. I think I will tomorrow times the blade turn on my bow saw, let's see :)
