The 42mm 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.
Block size: 180mm long by 54mm 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.
