Alvarez Hardware – Hikimawashi Keyhole Saw – Precision Pull Saw with Red Beechwood Handle

The Japanese Hikimawashi Keyhole Saw is a precision pull saw crafted in Japan, featuring a long narrow blade ideal for intricate detail work and cutting curves in wood. Its brass-riveted blade is securely set in a Red Beechwood handle, offering durability and a comfortable grip for accurate control on the pull stroke. Available in 180mm and 210mm blade lengths with 14 and 12 TPI options to match different cutting requirements.

The traditional Japanese pull-stroke design means the blade cuts on the pull motion, providing greater control and producing thinner kerfs compared to Western push-style saws. The brass rivets ensure the blade remains firmly attached to the handle even during extended use, while the Red Beechwood provides a warm, natural grip that reduces fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions.

Whether you are a bonsai enthusiast shaping miniature trees, a woodworker needing to reach tight awkward spaces, or a craftsperson working on detailed joinery, this versatile keyhole saw excels at fine cuts and thin materials. The narrow blade profile allows access to areas that standard saws cannot reach, making it a practical tool for specialized woodworking projects.
