Tajima GNB-250 Japanese Precision Woodworkers Replacement Blade with 19 TPI - Fits the Tajima JPR Rapid Pull Hand Saws - 250mm

The blades lock into the handles powerfully and the resulting connection is stiff where it needs to be to give control. I have used these saws for about 40 years - this brand is the best balance between cost and quality. Still have my first saw…of course it has a new handle and two new blades…;).

Fantastic saw. Great sharpness. Crisp cutting. No wavering while cutting deep. Stays straight on the line. Doesn't clog the teeth.

I have used this pull sawblade (250) for probably 20 years and of all my saws, about a dozen or so, this is by far my favorite. I use it for general cutting of soft woods like pine and you can get accurate clean straight cuts with it if you use it right. After I got the Tajima handle and 250 blade (19 teeth per inch) I stopped using the small electric circular saw as it is messy and bulky. And I eventually did get rid of my western push saws. I do not use the coarser 300 blade as it's not for me. This blade also has the flexibility to do flush dowel-cuts. Absolutely versatile and easy to take around. I far prefer this over my fancier Japanese saws. I usually get a new blade when the red lettering is wearing and it of course bites best when new. I'd say this is just a great product over all.

The fact that somebody is purchasing one of these indicates it's a replacement. Therefore, shipping these with a blade guard would benefit both manufacturer and end user. Charge an extra $0.33 and pocket the 800% markup on the protector, everybody wins!

It's my third blade, so I must like them.
