Product information
The SHUNRAN is also a very popular hand plane with a blade made from Blue Paper Steel (Aogami No. 1). This plane emphasizes a very soft backing layer to further ease sharpening. The body is made from white oak.
Tsunesaburo is a well-established plane manufacturer in Miki City, Hyogo Province. Tsunesaburo is known for its wide range of high-quality planes.
Japanese hand planes, regardless of their price range, are not ready to use and require some adjustments from the user, particularly the mouth of the plane needs to be worked on. A detailed guide can be found in Toshio Odate’s book: „Japanese Woodworking Tools: Their Tradition, Spirit and Use.” A book purchase that pays off!
The specified plane width is more nominal and can vary by a few millimeters. The cutting edge width of the Japanese plane blade is less than the blade width itself, as the blade tapers towards the edge over the last few millimeters. Therefore, the cutting edge width is also specified. As with all hand-forged blades, there can always be slight deviations. The soles of the planes are provided with a chamfer on the sides.
