Hey guys, just wanting to hear from you guys that are using japanese saws.
I am looking for a good quality Ryoba saw, but it doesn't have to be a hand forged 8 billion dollar saw... just something that will give a good finish and have a thin kerf for resawing. I am pretty sure that I want a ryoba, because I think a dozuki wouldn't work with the thickness of stock that I usually cut... but I'll be glad to hear any advice on these saws.

The most important things for me are
1. price
2. cut finish
3. small kerf width

anyway... thanks for your input in advance

Dave
