Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke. They leave a very thin kerf and are razor sharp---special tempering helps these saws keep their edge for a long time. We find that they cut faster and more accurately than even the finest western saws. One side is for crosscutting; the other is for ripping. This is the only handsaw that many woodworkers use.
Specs are:
9 teeth per inch on ripping side;
22 teeth per inch on crosscut side;
9-1/2" blade length;
Long rattan-wrapped handle.
