If you are careful, it's almost impossible for a pull-saw to bend or buckle while cutting, as the cutting action pulls the blade taut (only when going back into the kerf to make the next stroke can the saw buckle, and that shouldn't happen) That's why a much thinner metal can be used for the blades. Good japanese blades are tapered from the handle to the end AND from the teeth to the back, resulting in a very light and thin blades that resists the tendency to bind in the cut.
