There are several Japanese saws on the market. All Japanese saws work on the pull stroke. It depends on what you need a saw to do. I have a saw for cutting plugs or thin strips of wood. The kerf is so thin they recommend using it for cutting the line in a guitar neck to lay the fret wires. There are saws used for dove tails, double sided saws and a whole long list. Google Japanese saws and watch how many returns you get. But you have to decide what you need one for before you buy one.
