Tachibana 70mm Smoothing Plane - Abura-dai
This beautiful kanna is a full-sized smoother featuring a hand forged blue paper steel (aogami #1) blade and gorgeous oil-soaked block (abura-dai). This technique of oil soaking provides additional stability and protection to the dai. It also features a tsutsumi that supports the bevel of the blade once seated. The block is relieved behind the mouth to aid in tuning and maintenance.
