five traditional Japanese hand planes (Kanna) - 勞動工具

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.
