No, not hacksaw....
Little Japanese flush saws are great for fine cuts but the blades are so flexible .students trying to control the cut find it difficult to do. Taking a strip of 1/2" x0.016" brass and folding it in half to create a European style 'back saw' stiffens the blade making them ideal for fine cutting of brace ends and pockets.
