Item Overview
This is a premium collection of 5 Vintage Japanese Hand Planes (Kanna), essential tools for traditional Japanese woodworking. This set includes a variety of sizes and types, notably featuring a blade marked with the prestigious "Ginjiro" (銀次郎) name, a brand respected for its high-quality laminated steel and excellent edge retention. These tools represent the pinnacle of Japanese blacksmithing, where hard carbon steel is forged with soft iron to create a blade of unparalleled sharpness and durability.

Quantity: 5 pieces

Key Brands: Ginjiro (銀次郎) and others.

Use: Finishing, smoothing, and specialty edge work.

Material: Traditional Japanese Oak (Kashi) bodies and hand-forged steel blades.

Condition Details
Vintage / Used Condition. These tools exhibit an authentic patina consistent with age and professional use. The wooden bodies (Dai) show signs of wear, and the steel blades have surface oxidation/rust, which is typical for vintage Japanese carbon steel. They are being sold as-found, making them an excellent project for restoration or a striking addition to a collection of traditional craft tools.
