Q: Does this saw's blade retract for safe storage?
Yes, the 3 1/4" blade fully retracts into the handle when not in use, protecting it from damage and letting you carry it safely in a tool belt or pocket.
60T2230 - Retractable Japanese Saw
What may appear at first glance to be an ordinary box cutter is actually a compact saw with a fine Japanese tooth pattern. The 3 1/4" blade fully retracts into the handle when not in use; this not only protects it from damage but lets you carry the saw in a tool belt or pocket to keep it close at hand, or store it unobtrusively in a drawer or toolbox. A good size for modelmaking or other detail work, the 18 tpi blade cuts quickly on the pull stroke and has impulse-hardened teeth for use on wood, PVC or plywood.
Blades are also available separately and will fit standard box-cutter handles sized for 100mm × 18mm (3 7/8" × 3/4") snap-off blades.
