While I'm fond of Japanese (and Korean) chisels, the planes and saws are quite tied to Japanese/Korean/Chinese workholding techniques which I'm not quite flexible enough for these days (even though I still often sit on the floor in my living room to use a computer). An interesting alternative (and high-tech) approach is the Jointmaker Pro from Bridge City Tool Works: https://bridgecitytools.com/collections/jointmaker-pro https://bridgecitytools.com/collections/jointmaker-pro which turns the saw upside down, and instead has one moving the stock past it. I find it quite handy for cutting apart boxes made on my CNC machines: https://community.carbide3d.com/t/cutting-boxes-and-a-new-toy/66302 https://community.carbide3d.com/t/cutting-boxes-and-a-new-to... Originally founded by John Economaki: https://www.woodworkersjournal.com/john-economaki-designer-of-tools/ https://www.woodworkersjournal.com/john-economaki-designer-o... the company has since been acquired by a Chinese company and production has shifted to China --- daily sales have become a central aspect of the company's business model --- they seem to use them for ensuring cash flow (often a given item has a limited number available, so FOMO drives purchasing) and adjusting inventory (though that latter is just a reasonable surmise).
