Description

The 48mm plane represents an upgrade of our entry-level high carbon steel Kakuri planes with the addition of a blue paper steel (aogami) blade, which gives excellent peak sharpness, ease of sharpening and edge retention.

Blue paper steel is a premium cutting-edge steel that enjoys an unparalleled reputation in Japanese smithing. More commonly employed in the high-end hand-laminated planes of master smiths, this plane represents excellent value for money as it introduces blue paper steel into a more affordable price category.

Blade size: 48mm wide, 42mm cutting edge

Blade material: laminated steel Blue Paper Steel #2 (Aogami) and soft iron

Block size: 210mm long by 62mm wide

Block material: Japanese Red oak (Akagashi)

The block of this plane is relieved behind the blade to allow it to be used to smooth.

Made in Japan
