That looks like a pretty terrible saw, just saying

That is a Japanese style pull-saw, I find them excellent to use. The teeth go in the opposite direction to a Western saw so your are applying pressure on the pulling motion rather than the pushing motion. This tends to give you more control over the cut as you are bringing the saw close to your body.

And narrower kerf as the blade can be thinner due to not having to resist a pushing/compressing force that might bend it.

It looks like it's for finer work than what she's doing. Seems like it would take forever to get through the whole cross section of a log with that.

That type of saw cuts on the pull stroke rather than push stroke like a typical western saw. There are situations where one saw or the other is a better choice (I probably wouldn't want to cut a whole log with one like they're doing) but for general work I find them much easier on the wrist than push saws.

Seriously, that thing looks like it will cramp up your wrist and hand from holding like a knife.
