Japanese saw, Nokogiri, Dozuki, Ryoba Komane, Kataba

The Japanese saw or nokogiri used in woodworking and Japanese carpentry differs from its European counterpart since it cuts on the pull stroke as opposed to the push stroke.

This allows it to have thinner blades that cut more efficiently and leave a narrower cut width (kerf). Push-saws require a thick blade to remain rigid. Otherwise, the blade would flex wildly as the craftperson pushed on the handle, instead of cutting.
A pull-saw, on the other hand, is under tension rather than compression during cutting. Therefore there is no stiffness requirement, and the blade can be much thinner.

Japanese style saws have also gained popularity outside Japan.
