This saw is designed for general carpentry.   It is very unique as it has a convex blade for maximum clearance whilst cutting.  It has a tooth style which will cut hard timbers with ease. It has a taper- ground blade which reduces friction when cutting. This allows the cutting stroke to feel very easy and fast. The teeth are non-set and are what Silky calls a "Mirai-Me"  tooth style. This style of tooth creates a very smooth cut which can easily achieve a cross, slant and rip cut.   There are 10 teeth per 30mm.  This style of tooth also cuts a larger hole in the timber than the width of the blade,thus reducing the chance of the blade jamming in the cut. The tips of the teeth are impulse-hardened thereby  leaving the blade flexible but the teeth very sharp and long lasting. The blades are made out of a high-carbon steel which is a very strong steel but is also quite flexible.This is very important in a handsaw. The blades also have a special coating to give them some protection. The Ultra Accel-Taiko blade has two settings. The first is a standard saw-blade angle and the second has the blade pointing into the air. This angle allows you to cut on a flat surface very easily.  The handle has a rubber jacket which is made out of a special rubber designed by Silky Japan.   It is called GOM and it is extremely comfortable to hold. It absorbs a lot of the vibrations you get when cutting and it allows you to have a very good grip, even when your hands are damp. All parts are replaceable, so if you lose anything you can order replacement parts, i.e. screws, blades, handles
