KAKURI Japanese Hand Plane 42mm for Woodworking, Kanna Small Block Plane Mini Hand Planer for Wood Chamfering and Smoothing, 5.9 x 2.1 x 1.6 inches, ECO Oak Body, Made in Japan

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.

Türkiye'ye sipariş verdim ve gümrükte sorun yaşamayı mı bekliyordum? ama benden sadece 2 dolar vergi ödememi istediler. çok hızlı geldi. çok iyi yapılmış bir ürün.

Update: After a few days playing with it and watching master craftsmen using their tools, I finally figured out how to tap the blade out. I have most success using a steel hammer, I don't have access to a brass hammer. I did not find any success using a plastic mallet. I also changed the grip from having my index on the blade to using my thumb instead. I also applied a decent amount of pressure onto the blade. I believe the increased pressure increases its inertia which makes the tapping more effective. It has a learning curve compared to western style metal planes. I am changing my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars because all my struggle was inexperience not the fault of the tool. It is well made with a amazing hardwood body. I am a beginner woodworker so I had a few trouble setting it up. When I got it out of the box, I wanted to hone the blade like many woodworkers recommended but I could not get the blade to budge. I followed their guide hitting the chamfer (the daigashira) alternating corners rhythmically. I suspect that this is not a manufacturing error but more so that the wood shrunk as it was dried sitting on store shelves and applying excessive pressure to the blade. Or I might just be doing it wrong. In my process I accidentally split the wood at the mouth so please be careful when you try to set it up. After giving up getting the blade out, I striked the blade further in to try and get a shaving. It was working very well out of box, got a really nice shaving. I won't be getting the thin shavings that Japanese woodworkers could get in their competition, but it was far better than the planes I got from Harbor Freight. eventually I got the blade out by using a vise grip locking plier with its tip wrapped in multiple layers of electrical tape as to not scratch the blade steel. Then I proceeded to whack the chamfered edge and got it out. It is a very nice plane for the price. I would highly recommend it despite my initial struggles.

Very sharp and easy to use.

Ce petit rabot est très bien fait mais non préparé ! Il faut y accorder un travail de mise en forme et de réglages assez fins et poussés (des tas de videos existent sur YouTube à ce sujet) avant de s'en servir avec beaucoup de plaisir. A l'instar des scies japonaises, ce type de rabot s'utilise en tirant vers soi et non en poussant comme avec un rabot européen traditionnel. Celui-ci est arrivé très bien protégé et avec un fer parfaitement coupant. Il a fallu régler son contre-fer mais il y avait peu de travail sur celui-ci. En revanche il faut creuser (au grattoir) la sole en deux endroit très précis d'où l'utilité des videos.
