Japanese Saw

I won't try to describe this better than Dr. Wilbur Pan did at his web site, giant Cypress.

That said, Leonard Lee recommends not resharpening these unless you are a professional at it. The shape is too complex, and often includes a 3rd or 4th bevel on each tooth. Additionally, diamond grindstones are often used.
