>S'okay. I put a Western style open handle on a Douz-, Dozu-, Dozo-, er, Japanese back saw and it's not bad at all. Mind you I got the angle of the handle all wrong so it may be nearer the plastic pistol grip type handle you get on Shark saws and the like and thus null and void as an example. On the whole I'd sooner turn a Japanese saw Western than a LN Oriental...
