Kakuri Japanese Hand Tools

Kakuri brings Japanese craftsmanship to your workshop. Their wooden hand planes, pull saws and marking tools are handcrafted using traditional techniques, offering unparalleled sharpness and control. Experience the finesse of Japanese tools with Kakuri at Toolcraft.

What types of tools does Kakuri offer?

Kakuri, founded in 1946 in Niigata (Sanjo), Japan, specializes in traditional Japanese hand tools designed for workshops—such as Ryoba, Dozuki, keyhole, pruning, and folding saws; hand planes; chisels; carving knives; and hammers. Every tool is manufactured in Japan from high-carbon steel with precision impulse hardening techniques.

What sets Kakuri saws apart in woodworking performance and style?

Kakuri saws cut using the pull stroke, enabling a thinner kerf, reduced fatigue, and greater control compared to Western push-style saws. Their blades are light yet sharp, offering smooth, precise cutting—ideal for everything from framing to fine joinery. Their red oak or cork handles provide comfort and stability for long use.

What care and maintenance practices extend the life of Kakuri tools?

Kakuri recommends regular blade cleaning—especially for resin buildup—after use, and choosing the appropriate saw type by material (e.g. coarse saws for pruning vs fine teeth for joinery). Most blade types last around 6 months to a year with regular use, depending on maintenance and usage frequency.
