## Description

What is “SUIZAN“? SUIZAN, a Japanese brand, creates the highest quality Japanese hand tools. With a history of over 100 years, all of the processes are completed in one of Japan’s towns known for their craftsmanship. That’s why our products are highly appreciated by many woodworkers. One of the Japanese Tools There are a couple of differences between Western tools and Japanese tools. In many cases, Japanese tools are lighter and simpler than Western ones because Japanese tools are minimally designed and there is no unnecessary waste. Nowadays, the Japanese tools has become a popular tool in woodcrafting around the world due to its high quality. This is a Japanese Kanna SUIZAN's kanna is a small kanna that has one blade. It is simply composed of the kanna-dai (wooden body) and the kanna-mi (blade). One blade kannas are light to use and results in beautiful surfaces. HOW TO USE 1. Hold a kanna with both hands and pull towards you. 2. As your body weight moves, pull the kanna towards you at the same time. There is no need to apply excess power. HOW TO ADJUST THE BLADE When you are taking out the blade, use a hammer to lightly hit the top corners of the body. When either the right or left side of the blade protrude too much, lightly tap on the same side as the protruding bladeWhen placing the blade, gently tap the top of the blade with a hammer. The blade should be protruding around 0.05～0.2㎜.ATTENTION Although the Japanese plane is not a hard tool to use, please be aware that if - you are pulling in the opposite direction as the grain direction - the blade is protruding too much there is a possibility that the plane will not work well.

Review: Scary sharp right out of the box - Beautiful little plane. The iron doesn’t look like it’s forged, more like stamped out of plate steel and it’s definitely not the kind where a Japanese smith has fused a high carbon steel piece onto a softer one. Nevertheless, right out of the box, it’s sharp enough to take fine shavings. After sharpening the iron and setting it properly, it’s even more of a joy to use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How wide is the blade itself?  Is 50 mm the total width of the plane or just the blade itself. Thanks!**
A: The overall width of the blade is a bit over 50mm. The cutting edge tapers to about 45mm, which is normal. The dai (plane body) is about 63mm.

**Q: Where am I supposed to whack it again?**
A: You want to adjust the blade, right?When you are taking out the blade, gently hold down the top of the blade piece so it does not pop out, and use a hammer to hit the top of the plane in the same direction as the blade.When doing so, make sure that you are hitting the top corners of wooden body. When hit from the middle, there is a chance that the wooden body will crack.When placing the blade, slot the blade into the groove with your hand, and while observing how much the blade is protruding, gently tap the top of the blade with a hammer.The blade should be protruding around 0.05～0.2㎜ when seen from the end of the wooden body. Adjust accordingly. If the tip of the blade is completely visible, the blade is protruding too much. As you are adjusting the blade, there is a chance that either the right or left side of the blade will begin to protrude from the blade hole too much.When this happens, lightly tap the wooden body on the same side as the protruding blade with your hammer.

**Q: How much it weight? The description says 5.6 ounces but it seems too light. Thank you**
A: it is light and the blade cannot be removed for sharpening   don't recommend

*by J***S on 29 November 2025*

Great hand plane! It comes sharp out of the box, which not even all premium ones will. It took about 30 minutes to tune up. This is standard for even more expensive Japanese planes. The size was as advertised, though I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as heavy as it was. I was able to use it one handed and still took red oak shavings as well as pine from Home Depot. It took paper thin shavings down to thick heavy curls. Use the hammer to tune the depth of the blade and you'll have your desired shavings! Overall/TLDR: EASY TO USE, SET UP, and excellent value! It is easy to adjust, and will last a long time!
