Introduction:
You may think that the price is a little high. You can buy a used, unmaintained Kanna around $30 to $50 on the ,but if you don't have much experience with Kanna, maintaining it so that it can be used properly will not work even if you spend days doing it properly.It is generally said that even a carpenter needs five years to become proficient with a plane, and it is the most difficult tool among carpentry tools.
To improve your Kanna skills, it is essential to first use a plane that has been fully maintained for immediate use.
I think that the price is worth the time and effort of maintenance.In particular, the superiority of Japanese Kanna is more evident with a new base.
Product:
This is a hand plane “Kanna” fully maintained for ready to use. Please check video and photo and feel free to contact me for more details.

Photograph-5&6 shows.
- Normal blade-mouth.
- Blade-mouth is focused at the condition of shooting a video and planing the wood (Phot-2$3) .
- Surface of the Dai-sole is tuned in two-touch point.
Inmy video, I performed planing a SPF wood timber using Nitta Shirou. Asa result of fine tuning of Dai-sole and sharpening the bladeedges, and because of the weight of Kanna, when I just pulling the Kanna backwards without press it down force, the blade edges bites into the material surface, shaving leaped out from Kanna were very thin like a silkfabric.
Whenyou buy a used Kanna you have to set up it to planning in smoothly byyourself. Not only sharpening the blade-edge, but also reshape theblade, also sharpening the chip-breaker blade (counter-blade) andtune the sole of wood bottom “Dai”. It took a few days to havethese tuning.
Ifyou have Kanna for the first time you might be confused because ofmany things to do. (See the below website)
Nowyou have a chance to get ready-to-use. As soon an the Kanna arrives,you can use it but you should re-sharpen the blade from time to timeto maintain its sharpness.
