The Mini Ebony Planes are designed in Japan and was originally also produced there, but due to the makers finding it difficult to source the ebony timber in Japan, production was moved to a company in Hong Kong which have been making traditional Chinese tools for over 35 years. Once manufactured, the planes return to Japan for quality control testing and packaging.
This is one of the only products JTA sell that is not made in Japan. But we are confident that these mini planes are of premium quality.

Great little plane that was sharp out of the box. I'm using it for the chamfered ends on Kumiko pieces.

The perfect gift - although it hasn't been used yet, it's an exquisite little thing to behold. Beautiful craftmanship, truly Japanese in it's cuteness and precise shape.

Perfect for finishing the edges on leatherwork projects before sealing and completing

I bought my first mini plane around 2 years ago and loved it. It stayed with me until a few months ago, when it was knocked off. I use it for shaping ribs for acoustic guitars.

great little plane for fine work. For breaking ariss and small surface planing. I think I'm going to grow to love it. Will take some practice to be able to quickly setup blade (depth of cut) for use. Took several iterations to get it right. Back of blade needed some work to flatten before sharpening.

Great little tool. I spent a while getting the blade to the sharpness I want, and it is a real pleasure to use and in the work it sees with me (bamboo fly rod building) it just nicely fits a particular need.
