flush cut saw - japanese saw?
I need a saw which cuts flush to cut off excess timber in corner splines in a picture frame. Thinking about getting one of those 2 sided japanese saws (ripping and cross cutting side) - do they all cut flush?
any suggestions on suitable saw?

No, they have set and will scratch the surface. What you need is a dedicated flush cutting saw (also Japanese). These come without set on the lower edge. Link

I have a flush-cut saw from Lee Valley. All teeth & kerf are set to one side. On wood carvings, exactly what I'd hoped for.

Yep, all 'flush-cuts' have one-sided set - and because of that, they will always want to curve up away from the start point. Its usually insignificant when you are just nipping off a dowel or peg, but can be considerable on a longish cut. These will always need a post-sawing trim with a plane or paring chisel....
Cheers,IW

Not quite all. When I was in Japan last year I bought one of these: FLUSH H-225 and one of these: https://www.japanwoodworker.com/prod...andle-gyokucho both with absolutely no set
The little one is my go-to saw for most small trimming work, even non-flush cutting
