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.

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.

Kakuri 48mm plane

My first Japanese plane, following the set up guide it was easy to get it taking the thinnest of shavings.. the blade gets wicked sharp following the video on their website..
Be buying a few more in different sizes….
