Vintage Japanese Hand Plane (Kanna) and 7 Woodworking Chisels (Nomi) – Traditional Carpenter's Tool Set
Item Description
A vintage set of traditional Japanese woodworking tools consisting of a wooden hand plane (Kanna) and 7 Japanese woodworking chisels (Nomi). These tools were used by carpenters and woodworkers for woodworking, joinery, shaping, and finishing applications.
The hand plane retains its original wooden body and steel blade, showing signs of age, use, oxidation, wear, and patina consistent with long-term workshop use. The seven chisels feature forged steel blades with wooden handles and exhibit age-related wear, surface rust, and traces of use.
The plane bears a manufacturer's label, adding to its vintage character. This set is suitable for collectors of traditional Japanese tools, woodworking enthusiasts, restorers, or as an attractive display of historical craftsmanship.
Please carefully review the photographs for details regarding condition, dimensions, completeness, and wear.
