Review: Wish I’d seen one of these 30 years ago - I like this so well, I might be accidentally posting a second review. If I could only pick one saw that I could carry onto one of those reality shows onto an island, this’d be it. Light, not too big, will remove wood accurately and immediately. If I could change anything, it’d be for manufacturer to make a solid plastic sheath. This comes to you in a plastic and cardboard sheath, and the cardboard tears up, because as Americans we aren’t used to opening the sheath with one hand. If I had known that trick, perhaps the cardboard around the teeth wouldn’t be torn on mine. So I have to be careful drawing mine from sheath to avoid a tooth nick. This saw will rip your skin to the bone with the slightest lack of concentration. It’s that sharp. I bounced off something and just tapped a knuckle on left hand and had to superglue it for days before it would finally close. It actually needed a stitch probably. It went all the way to bone with no pressure just a careless bounce from getting tired and hurried. Phenomenal saw for the money. So sharp it’s dangerous if you’re careless. ## Features - Blade length: 150 mm. - Pitch: 1.20 mm. - Thickness: 0.40 mm. - Kerf: 0.40 mm. - Ideal for trimming dowel and tenon, etc. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CE8RMW | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #303,154 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #422 in Handsaws | | Blade Length | 150 Millimeters | | Blade Material | High Carbon Steel | | Blade Shape | Flat | | Brand | Z-saw | | Color | Pink, Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,584) | | Cutting Angle | 15 Degrees | | Date First Available | August 17, 2012 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 0.16 ounces | | Item model number | 30023 | | Manufacturer | Okada Hardware Mfg | | Number of Teeth | 3 | | Part Number | 30023 | | Pattern | Single Item | | Product Dimensions | 12.6"L x 1.97"W x 0.98"H | | Size | 1 Count (Pack of 1) | | Style | Main unit | | Surface Recommendation | Furniture | | Warranty Type | limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Z-saw - **Color:** Pink, Silver - **Product Dimensions:** 12.6"L x 1.97"W x 0.98"H - **Surface Recommendation:** Furniture ## Images ![Life Saw S-145 Flush Cutting Japanese handsaw - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-X+wE4mXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a folding saw?** A: No it’s not a folding saw. You can buy just a replacement blade when it becomes dull. It does come in a plastic sheath that locks on the handle. It’s a nice saw I will buy another one should I break this one. Hope that helps. **Q: Will this cut metal bolts** A: No, it is not meant to cut metal. **Q: Would this be good for cutting thick live bamboo?** A: Have not tried it on thick, live bamboo. The blade has many very sharp small teeth that do not dull rapidly. I have crosscut and ripped many hard woods. It is small, about 9" blade and used on joints and dowells. I believe it would do well, capable of slicing through wet bamboo fibers especially on the cross cut. It's not expensive so it's worth a try ! Let me know how it goes ! **Q: Does the saw come with a sheath?** A: After a fashion. The packaging is of a semi-rigid plastic that the saw snaps into. It also includes a piece of plastic channel that goes over the teeth of the saw. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it is an outstanding tool for precision woodworking *by T***! on July 16, 2023* I must say it is an outstanding tool for precision woodworking.

BUT, the blade should be more rigid/thicker because it bends when it finds some resistance. This is the piece of wood I bought it for. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093JXXWYK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details ## Frequently Bought Together - Life Saw S-145 Flush Cutting Japanese handsaw - KAKURI Japanese Hand Plane 42mm for Woodworking, KANNA Block Plane Small Hand Planer Tool for Wood Chamfering and Smoothing, 5.9 x 2.1 x 1.6 inches, ECO Oak Body, Made in JAPAN - SUIZAN Ryoba Double Edge Saw 9.5" - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Handsaw Woodworking Tools --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/36387896-life-saw-s-145-flush-cutting-japanese-handsaw](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/36387896-life-saw-s-145-flush-cutting-japanese-handsaw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
