This Japanese "Hira Kanna" block plane has a 65 mm wide blade. The plane is a vintage "Nokane" brand model and is in new condition. It was forged during the "Showa" period (1970s–80s). It possesses the same characteristics as high-quality forged blades: an iron with a very fine forge (very practical for sharpening) and charcoal annealing.
The Dai (Japanese white oak block) is solid and in perfect condition; the sole is perfect and perfectly straight. The Dai dimensions are: length 290 mm, width 84 mm, height 37 mm. The iron is hand-forged, two-layer high-carbon steel. It is impossible to specify the exact type of steel given the era (possibly blue steel). The edge works very well, but like any new plane, a finer sharpening (6000–8000) is recommended.
The stamp is beautifully applied within a cartouche, and the iron is very clean; the chipbreaker is thick and laminated. This kanna is of very high-quality forge, soft-forged with charcoal (rare today). The Dai is perfectly executed. This is a high-quality plane for an experienced user or a user looking to take their skills to the next level. It can be used for joinery, timber framing, or panel work in cabinetmaking.
The plane can be delivered raw or with the sole adjusted according to your preference (finishing or roughing). New planes always require an initial set of adjustments before use. I will provide all the advice needed for its proper use.
Unlike European planes, Japanese planes are pulled rather than pushed. With this tool, you can discover Japanese tools. For a collector, cabinetmaker, carpenter, joiner, or simply a handyman.
