This Japanese "Hira Kanna" plane has a 70mm wide blade.
The plane is recent and perfectly new. It is a plane of the brand "Unryu" which is distributed by the famous "Noburi Hamono" in Osaka. It is a kanna of good quality.
The Dai, a block of Japanese white oak, is solid and in perfect condition, the sole is very smooth, it is very straight. The Dai measures: length 273mm, width 90mm, height 36mm.
It's really sturdy and heavy.
The iron is made of hand-forged, two-layer, high-carbon steel. The iron has a beautiful black finish straight from the forge. The counter iron is thick and is laminated. It is of very good quality, it has a polished inner face.
This kanna is of a good forge and the Dai is perfectly executed. This is indeed the type of brand that produced quality tools in small series. Luxury but affordable...
This is the good quality plane for the user who would like to move on to something better on a new plane. It can be used in carpentry or framework. Like any new plane, there is a whole set of adjustments to be made before use. I will provide all the advice for its proper use and good adjustments.
Unlike European planes, Japanese planes are pulled instead of pushed.
With this tool you will be able to discover Japanese tools.
For collectors, cabinetmakers, sculptors, carpenters, or simply DIY enthusiasts.
