Zona saws are inexpensive, if I remember correctly.

It's a cheap way to test the concept.
I would get the coarsest version - some are so fine that you'll make slow progress
in harder woods.

If you try the Japanese saws, I like the "SunChild" Gyokucho #311.

FWIW - I've got my Western saws cutting well and consider them superior for this task.
