Plastic-free Policy:

Japanese Tools Australia is an environmentally conscious company and we endeavour to eliminate plastics in as many parts of our business as possible. Your purchase will be shipped in recyclable non-plastic materials, and we re-use cardboard and paper wherever possible in our shipping process.

Exceptions to plastic-free policy:

Unfortunately, we are required to dispatch some express items in pre-paid satchels and in such circumstances we have no choice but to use a plastic satchel. Please keep in mind these satchels are 100% recyclable. Our suppliers also use plastic in their packaging of some products, and we do not remove these protective measures before shipping. We are considering strategies to eliminate these two remaining sources of plastic in our shipping process. As many of our items are hand-made, they do not arrive to us or to you with extraneous packaging, though this is not the case for all of our products.

Breakage in shipping policy:

We pack our shipments in specialised materials to ensure that our customers find them in the same condition that we send them. If you receive your products in a damaged condition, please email info@japanesetools.com.au with your order number and photos of the condition of the products within a week of collection. If an item is deemed to have been damaged in transit we will replace it with like kind at no extra shipping cost to the customer.

If you are unhappy with the condition of your product and it has not been damaged in transit, please refer to our returns and exchanges policy. 

Description

This 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.

In this model, we have also commissioned that the sole NOT be relieved behind the blade. This means that this plane can be set up with an extra point of contact at the back of the body behind the blade. We have been enjoying using this sole profile with jig work as it allows a stable mating with the jig's reference surfaces.

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.

Setup and tuning of this plane should be done following the steps as for any other Japanese smoothing plane, however, because the sole now has an extra contact patch, extra attention will need to be paid to keeping the sole tuned throughout the life of the plane. 

Specifications:

Plane Block Size: 180mm long x 67mm wide
Cutting edge width: 40mm
Blade Material: laminated blue paper steel and soft steel backing
Body Material: Japanese white oak
