We have a Draper pull saw, and the blade is now blunt.
Probably doesn't fit but maybe..
Those Tajima saws look classy!
Why dont you try sharpening it
-
A little bit tougher on the pocket, but Dozuki saws are the dog's danglies.
Even I wouldn't bother sharpening a blade that costs less than seven quid, I do sharpen Silky blades as they can be over £60 and I use a cheap diamond feather edge file.

and i just like making thinks work again rather then throwing them in the bin

It can be less time to sharpen a blade than the travelling time to buy a new one.
Fine, so do I but that one is not one I would do.
If the OP wants to try it then as I said he will need a diamond file as these saws are induction hardened. The hardening is not very deep so you cannot do much.
Many moons ago I enquired here about DIY induction hardening and got some pointers to cheap MOSFET devices but decided against building one because I doubted I could control the uniformity as I pulled the teeh through the heating zone.
AJH
all you need is a dremel and small grinding cutoff wheel, and good eye sight the cheaper ones are not hardened to any great degree

A quick sharpen is easy & quick. Why spend time getting a new one?
