Razorsaw Miniature Dovetail Dozuki 180mm 25.4TPI

Blade: 180mm × 0.3mm, 25.4 TPI

Cut: Pull stroke

Format: Miniature dovetail dozuki (spined)

Replacement blade: RSS-297

Made in: Japan

A miniature dovetail dozuki — 180mm blade, 25.4 TPI, sized for jewellery-box joinery and small instrument work.

Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke. The blade stays in tension under load, which is what lets a 0.3mm kerf saw track straight through hardwood end grain without wandering or buckling.

The 297 is the small dozuki — 180mm of rigid-spined blade with very fine 25.4 TPI teeth. Built for the cuts where a 240mm dozuki feels oversized: small dovetails, fine box joinery, repair work, instrument-making. Spine limits depth of cut to the blade body, but it keeps every cut dead-straight — which is the whole point of a backed saw on visible work.

Razorsaw — Japan’s craft-saw standard

Razorsaw blades are impulse-hardened for long edge life. Teeth cannot be resharpened — they get replaced. The matching blade for this saw is RSS-297.
