Japanese Smoothing Plane - 48mm

Awesome plane

Did need a bit of setup and after that was awesome to use

First plane

Quite beautiful coming out of the box! Needed a fair bit of tuning prior to first use, didn't have any whetstones to sharpen the blade - could probably do with one. Still managed do get some nice shavings from it anyway. Great for a first time plane

First kanna

The plane was advertised as ready to go out of the box. I could have used it straight away but I pulled the blade and eased the blade bed a little. Touched up the edge and tweaked the chip breaker. A simple job to put it back together and with a couple of taps I was pulling good straight shavings. Really good value for money. A good first Japanese plane.
