»Tsunesaburo« Smoothing Plane, Blade Width 42 mm
This plane’s name is a combination of the Japanese terms »tsune« (which means »always«) and »saburo« (the name of the old master Saburo Uozumi). The Tsunesaburo master craftsman’s workshop, in its third generation, is highly regarded for the quality and variety of its plane models. The cutting edges allow a very fine and smooth surface. A special feature of the plane blades is the hollow grind on the back without edges on the sides. This feature is called the »Uradashi Fuyou Structure« and ensures optimum results with little effort when sharpening. Cutting layer made of Blue Paper Steel. Every plane blade bears the engraved name of the blacksmith. Blade angle 40°. Body made of Japanese white oak.
Japanese Planes (Kanna)
Japanese planes bring the wood’s true inherent beauty to the fore. Kanna have been reduced to their most essential plane functions. The double-layered, tapered blade is much thicker than standard European blades, allowing chatter-free planing. The cap serves as a chipbreaker. The numerous adjustment mechanisms found on European planes are completely absent. Before using a Kanna for the first time, the blade’s back must be flattened and the blade properly seated in the tapered grooves of the body. To minimise friction, the sole can be given a slightly concave profile using a scraping plane. Anyone willing to make the initial effort of setting up and learning how to use these fascinating tools will be rewarded with exceptional results. Unless otherwise stated, the blade angle is 40°.
