AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Overview
This is a premium collection of five traditional Japanese hand planes (Kanna), essential tools for high-end Japanese carpentry (Miyadaiku). This curated set includes various sizes and specialized types:
Standard Smoothing Planes (Hira-kanna): Several sizes for general surfacing and fine finishing.
Adjustable Groove/Shoulder Plane: A specialized plane featuring metal wing-nut adjusters for precision joinery work.
Craftsmanship: Each plane features a hand-forged carbon steel blade (Hagane) laminated to soft iron, mounted in a durable Japanese White/Red Oak (Kashi) body.
Japanese planes are unique globally because they are designed to be pulled rather than pushed, allowing for incredible control and a mirror-like finish on wood surfaces. These are not just tools, but artifacts of Japanese industrial history, perfect for professional woodworkers or tool collectors.
Condition Details
Vintage Condition: These tools show a beautiful patina and signs of professional use, which adds to their character.
Blades: The forged steel blades are intact. While some surface oxidation (rust) is present due to age, these are high-quality carbon steel and can be restored to a razor-sharp edge with traditional whetstones.
Wood Bodies (Dai): The oak bodies are solid with no major structural cracks. Some minor wear and marks consistent with age.
Storage: Kept in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment to prevent warping.
Important Notes for Buyers
Sold As-Is: Please review the photos carefully as they form part of the description.
Return Policy: Due to the vintage and heavy-duty nature of these items, returns are generally not accepted.
Unboxing: We highly recommend recording a video while opening the package to ensure a smooth resolution in the unlikely event of transit damage.
Shipping Information
Carrier: Shipped via FedEx or Japan Post (EMS) for fast and reliable delivery.
Packaging: Each plane will be individually wrapped and cushioned in a sturdy box to ensure they arrive safely.
Tracking: A tracking number will be provided immediately after dispatch.
International Buyers – Please Note
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
