Chiyozuru Premium Quality Smoothing Plane

This outstanding tool is made using Blue Paper Steel (Aogami 1), while its soft layer is made from wrought iron, which has now become rare (manufactured primarily before 1900). Due to the intercalated silicon it contains, soft iron trues the waterstone during grinding and opens its pores. This is indicated by the black dots in the iron. The tool carries an engraving of the name Chiyozuru. Plane body made of Japanese white oak (Kashi). Comes in an elegant wooden casket.
