60T0328 - Replacement Blade for Japanese Rip-Tooth Kataba
This rip-pattern kataba blade has a progressive tooth pitch; close to the heel of the blade, it has a finer 8.5 tpi to make starting cuts easier, whereas the toe has an aggressive 5 tpi for faster cutting. The 11 13/16" long blade is made of 0.025" thick steel with impulse-hardened teeth.
It hooks into the handle with a friction fit; to remove it, just carefully strike the back of the saw against a flat surface. Installing the new blade is as simple; tap the hook until it is fully seated.
