HANDY CRAFT SAW II

I purchased this so I could utilize the Tamiya TAM74097 saw blades. These fine photoetched blades will only work in this handle. Very handy for cutting small parts or opening seam lines such as doors or trunks.

This extremely sharp saw with extremely thin 15mm and a 5mm tall blade is designed to cut plastic and hobby woods, but not metal or carbon parts. Unlike American saw blades, which have the teeth set to cut on “the push stroke”, this follows the arguably better Japanese “pull stroke” teeth set, like the wonderful single edge Kataba style. I guarantee that you will wish you had it when you try to unwrap it! Be careful not to cut or damage the clear blade guard as you extract it. It has a twist to tighten design familiar to hobby knife users, and a small protrusion on the aft end to make twisting easier as well as stopping roll aways. This is not a handle for no.11 blades or medical scalpels, it is a precision saw for precise cuts. Keep this dry and oiled, like it’s fine bigger kin. Unique capabilities, Tamiya quality, I love it!

Tamiya has built a quality line of tools too. Can they do no wrong? (Besides that Harrier kit).
