I think we're going Japanese I really think so
Well this I believe is the future. Stanley have recognised the Japanese saw tooth pattern. But are staying true to the push stroke. Well it's all down to your taste buds , it's not for me as I'd like to think of myself as a craftsmen. I will stay true to the Japanese way as these saws have no spirit.

Ha ha, yes I did have a chuckle at this, as I too have one of the Stanley FatMax saws with triple-ground teeth. It is a nice saw as 'normal' saws go, and I'd favour it over pretty much all of the competition (I have respect and a soft spot for anything FatMax, especially their 'Extreme', or XL, they have clearly done much research into the price vs what people will be willing to pay, and the design and use of their tools - always a little higher cost, but always good value as you certainly get what you pay for).....BUT as you say they don't truly compete with the likes of a true Japanese pull-saw (and I'm a devoted fan of the Silky Fox saws, as they are just so good, and last a long, long time, so work out better value in the long run). The genuine Japanese pull-saws are a joy to use, they really are, and afford a level of control that push-saws just don't have!
