This Japanese plane "Hira Kanna" has a 70mm wide blade. The plane is new (NOS) in perfect condition and directly imported from Japan. It is a plane of the brand "Genji Kuruma", probably a plane produced by Tsunesaburo for a wholesaler.
The Dai (Japanese white oak block) is in very good condition. The sole will need to be flattened and adjusted again. Indeed, over time the wood moves. The Dai measures: length 273mm, width 89mm, height 37mm. The iron is made of hand-forged, two-layer carbon steel.
This is the perfect plane for someone who would like to start with a new plane to adjust themselves. It will be suitable for carpentry and framework. I will provide all the advice for its proper use and its correct adjustments.
Unlike European planes, Japanese planes are pulled instead of pushed. With this tool, you can discover Japanese tools. For cabinetmakers, luthiers, sculptors, carpenters, or simply DIY enthusiasts.
