Description

Everything about this saw is BIG, even the handle. The Sumo was designed to wrestle the big stuff with its extra rigid non-tapered blade design. As with all Samurai saws, the teeth are impulse hardened so don't try to sharpen this big guy because you'll ruin your file.

Features a heavy duty blade designed for big trimming. Non-tapered with impulse hardened teeth for longer tooth life. Comes with sheath.

Specifications:  

• Length: 16"
• Teeth per inch: 5.62  
• Hardening: Impulse  
• Mount: Universal

Notes: 

A non-tapered blade has the same thickness from the top to the bottom. The teeth on a non-tapered blade have "set" to create a wider kerf at the teeth so the remaining blade can follow through the cut without drag. Typically a "non tapered" blade is more rigid than the tapered blade.

Teeth/inch Teeth per inches refers to the number of saw teeth in one running inch of saw blade. The smaller the number of teeth per inch the "coarser" the blades is. A blade with a higher number of teeth per inch is described as a fine tooth blade.

Hardening: Impulse hardening is the most common method for hardening saw teeth. The process involves using electrical impulses to create a very hard layer on the saw tooth edge.
