This is the case with Japanese saws with replaceable blades, which cut the material without tearing it and leave a smooth cutting line.

An inexperienced person doesn’t have to worry about damaging the tool, while a professional can reach for a Japanese chisel or saw without worrying about comfort or the results of their work.
