KAKURI Japanese Block Plane 50mm for Woodworking, Kanna Smoothing Manual Hand Planer Finishing Wood, 9.5 x 2.5 2.3 inches, ECO Oak Body, Made in Japan

JAPANESE MANUAL WOODEN "Pitcher": This is a traditional Japanese woodworking plan, perfect for smoothing wooden surfaces. Unlike western planes, Japanese planes are drawn towards you, allowing for more consistent, controlled cuts with less effort. They require fine adjustment of the blade with a hammer before use. KAKURI's plan is trusted by beginners and professional woodworkers alike. Large size, easy handling: This is a large plane designed to be firmly grasped with both hands. Its balanced weight provides stability, making it easy to pull smoothly while effectively covering larger areas in a single pass. This size is also ideal for woodworking novices. STRAIGHT BLADE: This plane features Japanese steel, laminated with soft iron and hand sanded by skilled craftsmen. It provides an incredibly smooth finish to wood and is ready to use right out of the box. The soft iron lamination increases blade durability and makes sharpening easier, ensuring long-lasting performance. With a two-blade structure that includes a chip switch, it minimizes wood partition compared to single blade planes, providing a safer, more reliable planing experience. Durable wood body: The body is made of natural Japanese oak, known for its durability and ability to provide a smooth planing experience. *To be environmentally conscious and reduce cost, KAKURI uses oak from areas closer to the tree core (ECO Oak), which can display distinct grain patterns but does not compromise quality or performance.
