Item Overview This lot features a premium collection of 5 vintage Japanese hand planes (Kanna). These tools represent the pinnacle of Japanese blacksmithing, utilizing the traditional "Hagane" (laminated hard steel) technique which allows for an incredibly sharp and durable edge. Featured Brands: Includes notable names such as Bunkyo (文教), Sukeharu (助春), and Tokoharu (常晴). Significance: Japanese Kanna are unique as they are designed to be "pulled" rather than pushed, offering superior control and a glass-like finish on wood surfaces. These are not just tools, but functional pieces of art crafted by skilled blacksmiths. Set Content: 5 unique planes of varying sizes and blade types, ideal for both professional woodworking and serious tool collections. Condition Details Status: Vintage / Used. Blade: The blades show signs of surface oxidation (rust) and patina consistent with age, which is common for high-carbon steel. They will require sharpening and honing to reach their full potential. Body (Dai): The oak wooden bodies (Dai) show authentic wear and minor discoloration from historical use, proving their heritage and quality. Storage: Kept in a dry, smoke-free environment to prevent further deterioration.
