The Kanna Zuiun Japanese plane, made in Japan, is a versatile professional plane designed for planing softwoods, hardwoods, and plywood. Available in 65 and 70 mm, it combines a sintered high-speed HAP40 steel blade with an extra-soft iron layer.

Known for its wear resistance, toughness, and edge retention, HAP40 steel allows for prolonged use with less frequent sharpening. Its Japanese white oak (Shirakashi) body and traditional two-blade design ensure precise planing, particularly for woodworking, cabinetmaking, and musical instrument making.

Preparation and maintenance

The blade has been intermediate-sharpened and does not require anuradashi initially. However, polishing the back (uraoshi) and body adjustments may still be necessary before precision work.
For sharpening, the supplier recommends an intermediate stone with a grit of 2000 to 3000, followed by a finishing stone of approximately 8000.
After use, retract the cutting edge into the body and store the plane in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
