Japanese Traditional Carpenter’s Tools – Set of 4 Kanna Planes — Signed Blades / Woodworking Tools & Collectors’ Items — This lot consists of a set of four Japanese traditional hand planes (kanna), classic tools used by Japanese carpenters. Each plane features a wooden body fitted with a steel blade and is designed to be pulled rather than pushed, a distinctive characteristic of Japanese woodworking tools. The blades display hand-forged hammer marks and visible jigane (soft iron) typical of traditional blacksmithing, and maker’s marks (signatures) can be seen on the blades. The wooden bodies show natural wear, patina, and color variation from long-term use, reflecting the character and history of well-used tools. ⸻ Contents • Japanese hand planes (kanna) × 4 pieces Please note: sizes, shapes, and blade characteristics vary between each plane; they are not identical or standardized. ⸻ Condition (Important) • The blades show edge chips and rust • Sharpening and adjustment of the blades and bodies are required • Sold as-is, in current condition • No major cracks or structural damage observed, but overall signs of use are present For practical use, buyers should expect to perform sharpening and tuning themselves. ⸻ Estimated Period Mid-20th century (approximately 1940–1970) ⸻ Shipping Information (Important) As this is a set of four planes, the total weight is considerable, and shipping costs may be relatively high after packing. Please take this into account before placing a bid. ⸻ Additional Notes • Handcrafted and forged items naturally show individual variations • The items shown in the photographs are exactly what is included • Actual colors may vary slightly depending on monitor settings
