TAMIYA74111 Fine Craft Handsaw with Handle

This little saw is incredible! It has been a gamechanger for custom rc builds to get the finest and most detailed cuts!

Had a hard time finding something like this. It is perfect for small cuts that can’t be made accurately, or safely, with a smooth blade (Xacto type). I’m modifying an amt naboo fighter to resemble the one on The Mandalorian. It is working great. The tip in the QA section here that says it works best as a pull saw was right on the money. Don’t force it or put too much pressure on it, let it do the work. A great little saw everyone needs in their kitbashing toolbox. UPDATE: I’ve made something like 18 cuts now with this saw and it is still sharp and working great. I am confident that if you use this saw for what it is intended for, you will be happy with it.

The saws are great on this, it does a fantastic job as it's intended! But it really shines when using it for hobby knife blades! It holds the blades really well and hasn't had any issues like other hobby knife handles i've used in the past!

So the saw is really good. But there's a few things that annoy me:1. The "blunt" edge is not consistent and some parts are really sharp. While the box mentions not to touch it during work, it is often handy to do that. Few passes with a sandpaper got rid of the sharpness, leaving a nice to touch (and safer!) edge2. The blade attachment is strong, but the blade still occasionally slides out for me when I pull. I wish e.g. the blade had a hole and the screw would lock it in place.3. The blade could use a very short (e.g. 1/4") "toothless" area at the bottom - this really helps positioning it for the cut. You can grind the teeth yourself, but why not have it by default?4. The lack of a cover for a blade inside the handle is really annoying.All these would be trivial to fix/improve, wouldn't cost almost anything extra, and would improve the experience a lot IMO.

Perfect for cutting fine pieces on hobby kits. Blade is held firmly. A great addition to the tool kit. Worth the money.

Building a 1:25 scale car, I accidentally broke off the steering wheel and steering column. I glued it back on. The next day I noticed that in my haste to repair it, I glued it on upside-down. I doubted I could control where it would break intentionally, so I ordered the saw. It was the perfect tool for working in such a difficult space. Use only light force and let the saw blade do the work - it is much easier to guide that way.

Good looking hand saw. Easy to insert the saw blade.Unfortunately the blade doesn’t stay in and keeps coming out while using it. Probably will be fine for easy cuts.

I use this for cutting through resin or plastic 40k miniatures when modding or kitbashing. Works great! I love the two different sizes so I can have a sturdier blade for thick pieces and a narrow blade for sawing in tight spaces.
