Pros
- Gyokucho is one of the highest-quality Japanese saw brands widely available outside Japan
- Precision impulse-hardened teeth stay sharp longer than standard hand-filed teeth
- Single-edge design eliminates the back-edge tooth hazard of a dual-edge ryoba
- The reference recommendation from experienced hand tool woodworkers for flush and single-direction cuts
Cons
- Single edge means a separate saw is needed for the other cutting direction
- Replacement blades are a recurring cost since the impulse-hardened teeth can't be resharpened
