I prefer Western “push” saws to Japanese pull saws, but the popularity of the latter is indisputable; though scarcely seen in stores a couple decades ago, today you can walk into a big box and buy one made by Irwin or DeWalt.

Upstart tool company ToughBuilt, the company that makes that clever utility knife that transforms into a scraper, makes a ryoba saw that also pulls a neat trick: The handle is split and folds around the blade, in the manner of a butterfly knife. This not only allows you to do away with that plastic toothguard that always gets lost, but allows you to protect the teeth while halving the size of the tool for transport or storage.
ToughBuilt’s Folding Pull Saw runs $25 and they sell them at Lowe’s.
