How do you use and maintain Nakaya Japanese saws?

Similar to many Japanese saws, Nakaya manufactures pull saws. These saws only cut when you pull the blade towards you. This ensures a straight, clean cut with minimal energy needed.
Most Nakaya Japanese saws have impulse hardened teeth. These teeth last 3 times as long as the average saw blade. However, they are hard to sharpen. When the time comes to sharpen Japanese saw blades, many people opt to buy a replacement Nakaya blade instead.
