The blade is chrome-plated and ground. The ripping side of the blade (upper side) has 11 teeth per inch at the base for smooth starts and seven teeth per inch at the tip for productive rip cuts. The cross-cutting side (lower side) features 18.6 teeth per inch for fast and "silky" cutting.
The saw teeth are sharp and spaced to move quickly even through the hardest wood. The silky impulse hardens the teeth on both sides of the blade, so they will stay sharp much longer than conventional blades. The Hibiki comes with a snap-lock storage sheath for tooth and blade protection.
The aluminum alloy handle is rubber-coated and finished for ergonomic comfort and safe handling. Woodworkers appreciate the exceptional design, durability, balance, and superior finish quality of this fine saw. The length of the handle and blade in the open position is 19-1/4" (490 mm) and has a kerf of 0.9 mm.
