  • Wonderful simplicity and quality
Size: 42mm
I wondered if this was going to be tricky to adjust, but I found it easier than with my regular basic hand plane and the price is good. The quality of the steel is excellent, really holds an edge and easy to use once you practice with it a little. The Japanese are rightly reknowned for the quality of their steel and their love of simplicity, great qualities especially for tools. ... show more

  • Shockingly good and easy to use for beginners
Size: 42mm
I've used hand planes for maybe 2 years as a hobbyist woodworker, and being very intrigued by Japanese style woodworking, I've always wanted to try one of these types of planes. Observing master craftsman adjust these planes always seemed intimidating to me, but when I found this listing on Amazon for such an affordable price, I figured why not try? Immediately I felt like I was holding a premium tool in my hand, with the body of the plane being smooth as glass, heavy weight, and the wood being a beautiful glassy surface. I couldn't believe I paid almost $200 for my western plane when I could have started with this. I don't have a brass hammer (which is softer than steel and preferred for adjustments), so I used my cheap rubber/plastic mallet for adjustments. With a few knocks, and in less than 2 minutes, I had it ready to go. I just used my eyes and lightly brushed over the mouth opening of the plane to see when the blade had come out enough, and with a little time I was producing shavings on padauk and hard maple that were better than my $200 plane ever made! I couldn't recommend this to woodworkers enough, and I think I would even tell beginners to start with one to get an easy and cheap entry into hand tool woodworking. ... show more

  • Excellent quality. Will require some setup.
Size: 42mm
To me, this is a delightful bit of craftsmanship and evolutionary engineering (in the same sense that the bicycle is as simple and efficient as it can be due to its evolving design over many years. This little tool delights me. First, go find a video called, "Setting Up an Inexpensive Japanese Plane". It's only 8-minutes long. This plane is capable of fine work if it is properly set up. In the referenced setup video, the sole is setup with 3-contact (reference) points, using a card scraper -- i.e. some very slight hollowing between contact points is done (0.04mm max). Please note that not everyone sets up the third contact point at the back (far end) of the plane. I'm not clear on why this is so, but I suspect it may have something to do with jointing versus smoothing operations. I do not intend to set up a third contact point on this block plane (for now, anyway). It comes with two contact points on the long portion of the sole, so my opinion is you should try the sole as is, before embarking on any sole setup. The sides of my plane are square to the sole. Nice. My plane, and another I saw, both shipped with the blade upside down. I suspect this is just a shipping safety thing. Bottom line, this is a bevel down plane. If you don't know what that means, ask questions of someone who does. I bought this plane and a larger plane (it's also a Kakuri). The larger one is unusable without the setup shown in the referenced video, but I'm looking forward to doing that. This smaller block plane seems closer to being ready to go, but as others have stated, some sharpening and prep are in order. If you're new to hand woodworking, your idea of sharp is probably much different than that of those fellows you see in woodworking videos whose planing seems effortless and precise. ... show more

  • Exactly what I wanted
Size: 50mm
This is a well made plane, the blade comes razor sharp. As with all Japanese hand planes, it is the task of the purchaser to fit the blade to the plane body. So not for beginners, you have to know what you're doing.

  • Excellent block plane
Size: 42mm
This block plane, when set-up properly (flattened and sharpened iron along with a flattened body) works amazingly well! This block plane provides a better cut and finish than my Stanley block planes. Highly recommended.

  • Doesn’t feel safe
Size: 42mm
Maybe it’s due to the size or the lack of grip on the actual block but it is truly so awkward to use and adjust. The blade is very sharp upon arrival, I will admit. However, the blade adjustment is just a nightmare. Everything is pressure fitted so you really can’t adjust it easily and it feels like you’re going to accidentally slip and shave some of your finger off when hitting the back to bring the blade up. Maybe I’m just a noob to planers such as these, but I don’t really understand this one. If you know you like these types of planers, go for it, it is good quality. But I definitely wouldn’t recommend to someone that doesn’t really know how these planers work. ... show more

  • Simple but effective
Size: 42mm
First experience with a Japanese hand plane or block plane. Using a hammer to adjust a blade was a new experience! Like the simplicity but the main thing is that it works well. Good price as well.

  • Nice little plane.
Size: 42mm
Great deal for the money. The blade and chip breaker took a lot of work to get perfectly flat but the steel is excellent.
