Some time ago, while helping a friend install some wood flooring, I was using my (somewhat cheap) Japanese saw to cut some trim when I hit a hidden nail - it utterly ruined the tall, electrically hardened teeth. I bought a replacement blade easily enough, but it got me to thinking: what if the saw had Western-style teeth that I could resharpen myself, not with a special file but with an ordinary triangular file? I really like using the pull saw, but I dislike the idea of replacing the blade every so often or sending it to a master sharpener (matate? I think that's right).
So I'm asking here: has anyone ever seen a Japanese-style pull saw with western-style user-sharpenable teeth? I've looked every so often on the internet for something like this, but every time I do so the only thing I come up with are the same old "Japanese vs. Western" comparisons.
