What is a Japanese plane used for?

Aside from obvious visual differences, the unique feature of Japanese planes (kanna) compared to Western planes is they are pulled towards you, not pushed. Commonly used in a standing position with an angled planing beam, the plane is used to create polished surfaces without the need for sandpaper or finishing oil.

Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or a hobbyist, Kakuri Japanese planes elevate your woodworking experience. With their razor-sharp blades and ergonomic designs, they ensure smooth and precise cuts, allowing you to create masterpieces with ease.
