Will this japanese saw fit in a sortainer drawer?

I going to be honest with you....as a former sales rep for Tajima and knowing the quality of there stuff.....this is not a good quality saw if your looking to buy it...it might look nice knowing your getting two blades...but it cuts horrible

As for fitting?  I dont know
 
You might also want to search for Silky brand saws.  They offer folding models and I think that I read some good things about them on JLC.

Except for the Bridge City rendition I bought last, I have gotten most of mine from Woodcraft.  Being able to get replacement blades locally is a plus for me.

tell you what, I'll see how my silky's fit in my sortainer tomorrow and let you know. i currently have them in a veto pro pac, which i bought before the sortainer
 
The large drawer is 11" x 14" x 3 1/4" H.

Probably not  in the realm of a fine Japanese saw but I have been very  happy with the Vaughan (Japanese style pull saws) saws. I have three different blades that fit the same handle.  I don't do a lot of hand cutting but these do a very good job. I tried another common hardware store brand (can't think of the name) that was terrible, bad enough that I returned it.

The longest Vaughan blade is 14 1/4" so just a bit askew and it will fit in the large drawer.  The long blade is mostly a rough cut blade   good for 2 x  stuff. The others are much finer.

I have mine attached to the inside  of a Systainer lid, and the handle in a small drawer.  This type of thing would be perfect in a full width shallow drawer which Tanos doesn't make. But see this for one I made Full width shallow drawer

lol, thats awesome. I have the saw already. What should I look into next?

The Silky saws fit. I have the Woodboy and it fits real nice in my Festool tool box.
Get both the Dozuki and regular style blades. The teeth are quite fine.
They are easily changeable on site.
Great system.

I think the one you want to use will fit. But this one may not!

Tee hee. Tee hee.
 
I've been using five Japanese saws that I purchased from Japan Woodworker over 30 years ago and they still cut hardwoods perfectly.  I did ruin one of them doing rough carpentry while remodeling my house a long time ago but, that was from bad abuse rushing the remodel while living in the house.
 
had to search this post out again to respond. I own the two Silky "Woodboy" model jap saws as well as a pocket boy for my pouch. Both saws fit perfectly in a sortainer large drawer width wise when folded. In fact thats now their new home.

Seth, the link was very helpful. 

But I just wonder why this is not an option from Festool/Tanos? Just as you show the 1281.... no one needs deep drawers for that.

Why is this not an option?

Cheers,
Steve
