HF Japanese saw is wicked sharp

I'm refinishing a wooden desk for my daughter, but it has wooden handles that she doesn't like glued to the drawers. I was using a small flush cut saw to remove them, but it wasn't aggressive enough, so I bought the 10" Japanese style flush cut saw from HF. Man, is this thing sharp! It not only cut through the handles like butter, but sliced my hand open twice! Dummy me will be wearing leather gloves next time!
