pull saw
Japanese-style cutting tool
A pull saw is a saw that cuts on the pull stroke rather than the push stroke.
Japanese saws are the most familiar type.
The pull action allows thinner, more flexible blades that produce narrower cuts with less effort, making them popular for fine woodworking: I switched to a pull saw for dovetails and haven't looked back.
