Chiyozuru Premium Quality Smoothing Plane Ran Giku

Description

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.

Manufacturer

Chiyozuru

Chiyozuru is one of the most well-known names for plane blades and other woodworking tools in Japan. Many of these forged tools from current and previous generations are viewed as national cultural treasures in Japan. Furthermore, the tools have also received numerous awards. After a thirteen-year apprenticeship under his master, Chiyozuru Sadahide II (fourth generation) was granted permission to manufacture and sell his own tools bearing the Chiyozuru name.
