Ain't gonna happen. Japanese saws cut on the pull, which allows the
blade to be much thinner. You need a thicker blade to cut on the
push. Pick stiff or thin.

Right. Let him try making a point on a hacksaw blade and using one of
the holder handles. Then he can see how nice pull saws can be by
simply reversing the blade. http://fwd4.me/TUP one style.
