The Kanna Yugumo Japanese plane, made in Japan, is designed for planing and finishing wood, especially hardwoods. Available in 65 and 70 mm, it combines a Japanese Aogami No. 1 steel blade (Blue Paper Steel #1) with a layer of traditional wrought iron.
This construction makes sharpening easier while providing a sharpness suitable for precision work. Its Japanese white oak (Shirakashi) body and traditional two-blade design allow for controlled planing and a meticulous finish.
