High-Grade Carbon Tool Steel (鋼付き - Laminated Steel)

Engineered with a hard cutting steel forged onto a softer iron backing. This traditional structure ensures incredible edge retention while making it exceptionally easy to resharpen.

Body (Block) Material

Premium Japanese Oak / Kashi (樫材)

Renowned for its extreme density, heavy weight, and wear resistance, allowing the plane to glide flat and smoothly without warping.

Primary UsesSmoothing rough timber surfaces, flattening planks, fine sizing, and professional workshop woodworking.✨ Key Design & Functional Highlights:

• Traditional Laminated Blade (鋼付き): The bi-metal steel structure is a hallmark of Japanese craftsmanship. Because the cutting edge is backed by softer iron, the blade absorbs vibrations during heavy cuts and remains highly responsive to whetstones during maintenance.

• Heavy Japanese Oak Dai (Block): Carved from genuine Kashi (Japanese White/Red Oak), the body provides the perfect weight and low center of gravity required for micro-adjusting shaving thickness and achieving consistent results.

• Ergonomic Pull Action: Pulling the tool allows you to utilize your entire core weight, preventing blade chatter and leaving a high-gloss finish on raw wood that makes post-sanding almost unnecessary.

⚠️ Important Usage Precautions:

• Blade Setup Required: Traditional Japanese Kanna are precision instruments. Before first-time use, the blade (Kanna-mi) may need slight tapping or fine-tuning into the wooden slot (Dai) to set your desired micro-shaving depth.

• Inspect Before Use: As this is a professional sharp cutting tool, handle with absolute care. Do not use if any cracks are found on the blade or body due to improper storage.

• Avoid Hard Impacts: Never directly strike the sharp edge of the blade with a metal hammer.

• Check Material: Always ensure the wooden workpiece is completely free of nails, screws, or hard debris before planing to protect the sharp carbon steel Brand NewShipping
