Description from the seller
Vintage Japanese Special Planes (Kanna) x2 & Chisels x4 Set – Traditional Carpentry Tools
Item Description:
This lot consists of two vintage Japanese special planes (kanna) and four chisels, representing traditional woodworking craftsmanship. The planes feature solid wooden bodies with iron blades, showing a well-developed patina consistent with age and use. One plane is longer and slimmer, while the other is shorter and slightly wider, both designed for specialized carpentry applications.
The set also includes four chisels of varying widths and lengths, each with wooden handles and steel blades. These tools exhibit signs of honest wear, including surface rust and marks from use, which add to their authentic vintage character. Such tools were traditionally used by skilled artisans and remain highly valued for their quality and historical significance.
This collection is ideal for collectors of Japanese tools, woodworkers, or those interested in traditional craftsmanship.
