Review: A worthy introduction to Japanese hand planes - I am an advanced hobbyist woodworker, and a retired carpenter (served a four year apprenticeship). I have a number of Japanese tools among my many, many tools. Some of the chisels I love (some hot so much), some of the saws are better than OK, but I'm committed to Western style. Let's see, I began my apprenticeship in 1975, and worked along my dad for a decade or more prior to that, so I'm a bit long in the tooth! I've been intriqued with Japanese hand planes for a number of years but never enough to take the plunge. A week ago I decided to dip my toes with this block plane. It's OK! Then why five stars? Price is cheap, for one thing and it has the basis for being an excellent plane. While it can make a shaving right away, you are better off thoroughly reading the instructions and experimenting with a piece of straight grain softwood. So, what do you need to do? I can understand how some reviewers have said the blade is stuck (I thought so too, until I learned exactly where to tap the back). Some say the blade is razor sharp. Well, to the not so experienced, it might be, but spend a bit of time on a very fine grade stone on the bevel and face of the blade. It took about ten minutes to sharpen. Don't forget to also smooth the wedge, both the part the touches the blade and the two bent points at the rear. Experiment with inserting the bladefor proper projection, then lightly tap the wedge into place (don't over tighten-not needed). Now begin experimenting, pulling the blade towards you. Thirty minutes after opening the package, I was making .001" thick shavings-very nice, but it was on softwood! I need to learn more about this plane and maybe replace the metal wedge with One made from white oak. I may try to refine the bladebevel a it more. Remember, this is just an experiment, as I have well over hundred handplanes already, including several dozen western metallic planes. For $20.00 bucks and change, this is a cheap, fun way to try Japanese style hand planes, but remember, it is not fully ready to go, right out of the box, but a bit of time invested, will reward you with satisfactory results!
Review: Amazing! - Wow! This is a great plane. The iron is sharp and ready to go write out of the box. Adjustment of the iron is really easy with just a few taps of a hammer. This is my first Japanese plane and I am really impressed in how great it is. I've never had a plane that is ready to go straight out of the box. I can't believe how inexpensive it is as well. I am amazed!

## Features

- JAPANESE MANUAL WOOD PLANE "KANNA": This is a traditional Japanese woodworking plane, perfect for smoothing wood surfaces and chamfering edges. 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.
- COMPACT & EAST-TO-USE: Compact and lightweight, this mini plane is ideal for detailed work and intricate tasks. Its size allows easy handling, even for those new to woodworking and DIY. An English instruction manual is included, so even first-time users can enjoy an authentic Japanese woodworking tool with ease.
- RAZOR-SHARP JAPANESE STEEL BLADE: The blade is crafted from Japanese high-carbon steel, sharpened by expert craftsmen to deliver an incredibly smooth finish on wood. It’s ready to use straight out of the box. The two-blade structure, featuring a chipbreaker, helps prevent wood from splitting during use, making it safer and more efficient compared to single-blade planes.
- 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 (mono-steel) / Body Material: ECO oak (oak from the tree's core) / Size: 5.9 x 2.1 x 1.6 inches / Blade Width: 42 mm (1.65") / Cutting Width; 36 mm (1.42") / Instruction: English

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality. Will require some setup.
*by B***K on October 30, 2023*

To me, this is a delightful bit of craftsmanship and evolutionary engineering (in the same sense that the bicycle is as simple and efficient as it can be due to its evolving design over many years. This little tool delights me. First, go find a video called, "Setting Up an Inexpensive Japanese Plane". It's only 8-minutes long. This plane is capable of fine work if it is properly set up. In the referenced setup video, the sole is setup with 3-contact (reference) points, using a card scraper -- i.e. some very slight hollowing between contact points is done (0.04mm max). Please note that not everyone sets up the third contact point at the back (far end) of the plane. I'm not clear on why this is so, but I suspect it may have something to do with jointing versus smoothing operations. I do not intend to set up a third contact point on this block plane (for now, anyway). It comes with two contact points on the long portion of the sole, so my opinion is you should try the sole as is, before embarking on any sole setup. The sides of my plane are square to the sole. Nice. My plane, and another I saw, both shipped with the blade upside down. I suspect this is just a shipping safety thing. Bottom line, this is a bevel down plane. If you don't know what that means, ask questions of someone who does. I bought this plane and a larger plane (it's also a Kakuri). The larger one is unusable without the setup shown in the referenced video, but I'm looking forward to doing that. This smaller block plane seems closer to being ready to go, but as others have stated, some sharpening and prep are in order. If you're new to hand woodworking, your idea of sharp is probably much different than that of those fellows you see in woodworking videos whose planing seems effortless and precise.
