Which saw is Asian style (pull stroke) with both ripping blade and crosscutting blade in one saw, and has no spine?

• A. Corded Circular Saw
• B. Pull Saw
• C. Cordless Circular Saw
• D. Pneumatic Hand Saw

Answer: (B)

Asian-style pull saws cut on the pull stroke and use a thin blade with no rigid spine. A ryoba-style version is classic here: it has dual teeth on the blade—ripping teeth for slicing with the grain on one edge and crosscut teeth for cutting across the grain on the other edge—so you can perform both tasks with a single blade. The blade is designed to be pulled, giving precise control and less binding in many woodworking contexts. That combination—pull-stroke operation, no spine, and a single blade carrying both ripping and crosscut teeth—matches the description perfectly.

The other tools described are power saws or different design families that don’t fit the Asian pull-stroke, dual-teeth-on-one-blade concept: circular saws (corded or cordless) are push-style power tools, and a pneumatic hand saw is a different power-type tool, not the traditional two-teeth-on-one-blade, no-spine pull saw.
