Japanese "saw-file"

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I could find a "Japanese saw-file".

Kinda looks like a bunch of "zig-zag bent" hacksaw blades riveted together to form an open diamond pattern. The file had a fine and a coarse side.

My Father had one years ago and I have seen them referred to in books but I have been unable to find them.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hank
