Hand saw blade KWB Japan Saw 017118 — 300 mm blade length, 1.2 mm thickness

Replacement hand saw blade KWB Japan Saw 017118 is a 300 mm long, 1.2 mm thick blade designed for Japan-style pull saws. Intended as a spare or replacement cutting element, this blade is made to deliver precise, thin kerf cuts on the pull stroke, suitable for joinery, fine carpentry and hobby woodworking. The blade is compatible with KWB Japan saw handles that accept removable blades and is manufactured to provide consistent performance for trimming, detailed cuts and controlled material removal.

Advantages

The 300 mm length offers a balance between reach and control, while the 1.2 mm thickness provides a relatively thin kerf for accurate cuts and reduced waste. Designed for pull-stroke cutting, the blade reduces user effort and improves cut accuracy. The replacement blade format allows users to refresh a worn cutting edge without replacing the entire saw, maintaining consistent tooth geometry and cutting behavior across use cycles.

How to use

Install the replacement blade into a compatible KWB Japan saw handle according to the handle manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is securely seated and the locking mechanism is engaged. Use the saw on the pull stroke, applying steady, controlled motion to guide the blade through the workpiece. For best results in joinery and detailed cuts, mark the cut line clearly, support the workpiece to prevent vibration, and let the blade do the cutting without excessive force.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate eye protection and follow general workshop safety practices. Keep the blade clean and free of pitch; replace the blade when teeth become dull or damaged to maintain cut quality. Store spare blades flat and dry to prevent bending and corrosion.
