This magnificent spear is, in reality, the ancestor of the Japanese plane. Called "Yari Kanna," it precedes the appearance of the hira kanna in Japan. This yari kanna was used to rough-hew surfaces on beams or boards. Today, it is used more as a tool to create surface effects on wood. However, these Yari kanna are still effective, particularly for debarking very quickly.
This Yari kanna was forged by "Kikuo Kanda," a famous Tokyo blacksmith known by the brand "Mosaku." His productions are particularly sought after by Japanese tool enthusiasts and collectors. His reputation is confirmed by his craftsmanship, with the ura shaped with a sen and the finishes done with a file.
The spear's cutting edge measures 103mm in length. Its total length is 378mm. It is truly very beautiful, with a slight curve that facilitates the cut.
The iron is made of hand-forged, two-layer high-carbon steel. The jigane (base steel) is "kamaji": a very soft wrought iron. The ura is very finely shaped.
This Yari kanna is of excellent forge quality. It clearly belongs to that class of artisan who works at their forge with the utmost devotion.
This is an exceptional yari kanna for an experienced user who has already mastered kanna sharpening. It can be used in joinery, on timber framing pieces, or on panel work in cabinetmaking.
Unlike European planes, Japanese planes are pulled instead of pushed. With this tool, you can discover Japanese tools. For carpenters, cabinetmakers, sculptors, joiners, or simply (advanced) DIY enthusiasts.
