"Hard Impulse" changed the common sense of saws. Sharpness of Miki, Hyogo.｜Z-SAW
In the past, saws were used by craftsmen by sharpening them.
Z-SAW popularized the "replaceable blade type" so that anyone can always use a brand-new sharpness.
That epoch-making invention can be said to be the democratization of Japanese woodworking technology.
Rust-free, distortion-free, super sharp
Saw brand "Z-SAW" manufactured by Okada Metal Industrial Co., Ltd. in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, a town of hardware. The name comes from the last letter of the alphabet "Z", meaning "the ultimate saw with nothing more". The biggest feature is the "Hard Impulse" technology put into practical use for the first time in the world. By instantly heating and cooling the cutting edge, the hardness of the steel is dramatically increased, realizing durability several times that of conventional saws. As a pioneer of "Replaceable Blade Saws", it is a top brand that continues to support Japanese construction sites and DIY scenes.
Why "Z-SAW" is Chosen | 3 Reasons
World's First "Hard Impulse"
"Impulse hardening" technology that instantly heats and cools only the cutting edge with high-frequency current. As a result, an ideal blade with a tip as hard as a diamond and a flexible saw body was completed. Realizing amazing long-lasting sharpness.
Economical "Replaceable Blade"
Established the "replaceable blade type" where the blade is replaced when the sharpness drops. Since the handle (grip) can be used as it is, it is economical and an environmentally friendly system. Also, compatibility that allows different types of blades to be attached as long as they are in the same series is attractive.
Blade design specialized for use
"Cross cut" to cut off wood fibers, "Rip cut" to cut along fibers, and "Universal cut" that supports both. In addition, dedicated saws optimized for cutting objects such as for bamboo, PVC pipes, and metals are available with optimized blade angles and pitches.
Editor's Note
When I first started DIY, I was struggling to cut wood with an old saw, but the moment I switched to "Z-SAW 265", I was shocked by its sharpness. The sensation that the wood is cut as if being sucked in just by pulling the blade without applying force. I realized that "it wasn't my arm that was bad, it was the tool" (laughs). Recently, I like the Craft 145 of the "Life Saw" series. It is an indispensable partner for furniture making because it cuts cleanly without scratching the board when cutting dowels.
