FUGAKU Dozuki Universal Saw
Compact folding dozuki saw with a 240 mm universal‑tooth blade, ideal for dovetails and fine joinery, that folds into a straight beech handle for precise, portable woodworking performance.
The FUGAKU Dozuki Universal (Gyokucho 111) is a folding Japanese pull saw designed for fine joinery and general precision woodworking. Its 0.3 mm thick dozuki blade is reinforced with a long metal spine, giving you a very thin, accurate cut with excellent guidance for dovetails, tenons, and other detailed joints. Universal teeth allow you to cut along, across, and diagonally to the grain with the same blade, making this saw a flexible choice for furniture making, cabinetry, musical instruments, and bamboo work.
The folding mechanism lets the 240 mm blade tuck into the straight beech handle, reducing the overall length to about 290 mm for storage in a toolbox or bag. A simple lock keeps the blade firmly open during use, giving a secure feel similar to a small backsaw while still benefiting from the smooth, low‑effort pull stroke of a Japanese saw. The wooden handle offers a comfortable, natural grip and pairs with the thin, impulse‑hardened blade to deliver clean, tear‑free cuts even in dense hardwoods and modern sheet goods.
