Pros

- Dual-edge design: crosscut teeth on one side, rip teeth on the other
- Th in kerf removes less material and requires less force than Western-style push saws
- Japanese pull saw teeth are fleam-filed for the cleanest possible cut surface

- Replacement blades are required rather than resharpening -- a recurring cost
- Dual edge means the back edge teeth can damage the bench or the finished surface
