The kugihiki saw flush-trims projections, such as screw plugs and the wedges or pins securing a tenon, without damaging the adjacent surface. The 4 3/4″ long flexible blade is about 1 1/4″ deep and has 26 fleam-tipped teeth per inch that leave a smooth finish but cut quickly. There is no tooth set, allowing you to approach work from either direction in confined space.

The saw has a stained paulownia handle and comes in a protective vinyl case. Overall length is 13″. Made in Japan.
