I've seen the Japanese saws at HD. I often find the Japanese are pretty clever about a bunch of stuff, so it wouldn't surprise me if these saws are easier or more efficient at least when used by someone that knows how to use them.
I think HD sells the plastic handles one. Get the real deal. They are much better in terms of control. Its the rattan handle. They have very fine teeth that make a very fine cut. Some of them have a coarse cutting side directly on the other side of the saw. Its makes cutting faster but rougher finish. I mainly use them to cut bottoms of door jambs for fitting flooring under them. Its leaves a tiny gap, thickness of the blade.

I have both of these:

I always seem to grab this one when looking for a hand saw https://www.garrettwade.com/9-1-2-replaceable-ryoba-saw-gp.html

Look around their web site. They carry some fine hand tools if you are into that kind of work. Satisfying but takes forever compared to power tools. Did I jsut sent you a porn mag/ catalogue?
