Product information
Indeed, this tool is a plane, and it is its earliest, archaic form, used in Japan as early as the 1st millennium of our era. You will be amazed at the fine shavings – of course after thorough sharpening and a generously measured break-in period – that can be produced with this device.
Just a museum piece and no longer practical today? Wrong! Many woodworkers have discovered the Yarri Kanna for themselves and find it an indispensable tool.
The furniture restorer can adjust the thickness of inlaid veneers to match the surrounding veneer without compromising it in any way. The sculptor smooths the surfaces of his work with it, without, for example, tearing the pores with sandpaper. The artist and wood designer are presented with a wealth of unforeseen possibilities for surface structuring, ranging from the results of a roughing plane to a smoothing plane.
The blade of this masterpiece of blacksmithing is forged from white paper steel and forge-welded with several layers of Damascus steel. Made by Master Masanobu Okada, in Takefu, now Echizen, Province of Fukui, who is especially known for his Takobiki fish knives. The signature of Masanobu Okada is affixed to the shaft and only becomes visible after the handle is removed – just like with Japanese swords.
