Detailed Review
The Temple Tool Co. 6 Inch Double Edge Japanese Flush Cut Saw is designed specifically for trimming dowels, tenons, wedges, and small trim pieces flush with adjacent surfaces. Founded by woodworker Chris Schoenberg of Third Coast Craftsman, the tool blends Japanese manufacturing traditions with practical workshop demands, giving joiners and hobbyists a dedicated tool for clean finishing cuts.
Because it operates on the pull stroke, the saw uses a lightweight, thin narrow-kerf blade that glides smoothly through material with minimal effort. The blade is constructed from high-grade Japanese steel designed to retain sharpness and handle both softwoods and hardwoods. Handcrafted in a historic Japanese city with over a century of saw manufacturing heritage, it delivers clean precision cuts across detailed woodworking tasks.
The handle is turned from dark brown solid beech wood and accented with brass fittings, balancing aesthetic craftsmanship with steady control. However, with its compact 6-inch double-edge format, it is meant specifically for flush-trimming and small component work rather than general rough lumber dimensioning. Additionally, the manufacturer does not specify the exact tooth configuration or teeth-per-inch count on either cutting edge.
Verdict: This flush-cut pull saw is an ideal choice for woodworkers and DIYers who need clean, surface-level cuts on joinery pins, plugs, and tenons. It provides authentic Japanese steel performance and fine craftsmanship for detailed finishing work.
