## Overview

The KAKURI Japanese Block Plane is a 50mm wide, hand-pulled woodworking tool crafted in Japan with a laminated high-carbon steel blade and an eco-conscious oak body. Designed for both beginners and professionals, it offers precise, controlled planing with a durable, ergonomic build that ensures smooth finishes and long-lasting performance.

## Description

For wood surfaces It is easy to hold even for women and is recommended for beginners. Fine adjustment of the blade is required to use the plane. Fine-tuning of the bottom edge and back of the base is required to complete the finish.

Review: Used it on different projects and it cuts very well. The tapping to position the blade needs some getting used to. But it’s a fun and great tool to have in your toolbox. The woods surface of the plane is also great, as it is less likely to scratch the woods you’re working on when you slip.

## Features

- JAPANESE MANUAL WOOD PLANE "KANNA": This is a traditional Japanese woodworking plane, perfect for smoothing wood surfaces. Unlike Western planes, Japanese planes are pulled towards you, allowing for more consistent, controlled cuts with less effort. They require fine-tuning of the blade with a hammer before use. KAKURI's plane is trusted by both beginners and professional woodworkers.
- LARGE SIZE, EASY HANDLING: This is a large-sized plane designed to be gripped firmly with both hands. Its balanced weight provides stability, making it easy to pull smoothly while efficiently covering larger surfaces in a single pass. This size is also ideal for woodworking beginners.
- RAZOR-SHARP BLADE: This plane features Japanese steel, laminated with soft iron and hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen. It delivers an incredibly smooth finish on 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 chipbreaker, it minimizes wood splitting compared to single-blade planes, offering a safer, more reliable planing experience.
- DURABLE WOOD BODY: The body is made from natural Japanese oak, known for its durability and ability to provide a smooth planing experience. *To be environmentally conscious and reduce costs, KAKURI uses oak from areas closer to the tree’s core (ECO Oak), which may show distinct grain patterns but does not compromise quality or performance.
- PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: Made in Japan / Blade Material: Japanese high carbon steel (laminated steel) / Body Material: ECO oak (oak from the tree's core) / Size: 9.5 x 2.5 x 2.3 inches / Blade Width: 50 mm (1.97") / Cutting Width; 42 mm (1.65") / Instruction: English

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why the manufacturer is written as "China" in the "Product Information" section ?**
A: The item is made in Japan. 
That notation is the information that was displayed due to a system error on Amazon.

**Q: Do you have to keep tapping with a hammer between passes like the video shows?**
A: Not sure what video you saw, but when you get it where you want, it is good to go for many passes. Found it also good to back the blade out when I am not using it, also rest it on the side to protect the blade. This is a work horse for such a small block plane, and if you keep it sharp, you will enjoy using it.

**Q: Will this plane be suitable for working with hardwoods?**
A: When I got it I just honed it & I trimmed a whole house.....extension jambs,baseboard,door and windows and it stayed sharp the entire time.  My bailey would have never lasted that long without a touch up .    The blade is fairly thick and has a slight hollow ground.    Maybe that's the key.

**Q: how the blade of this plane made? Traditional Japanese style? Or just all one metal?**
A: This one has a blade /ha/ and a chipbreaker /ura-gane/. You insert the blade behind the crossbar and add the chipbreaker in the middle, finally tapping on the chipbreaker for a super tight fit. Be careful though, the chipbreaker is just as sharp as the blade itself. As far as I know, this two-piece setup is the traditional Japanese way, and as such, this plane is pulled (right hand across the flat wood, left hand behind the blade, supporting the butt). Tap the butt of the base /kanna-dai/ to release the blades again.
