This universal plane has a blade made of steel called Aogami #2, which is clad in soft iron. The body, on the other hand, was made of white oak. Tsunesaburo is a manufacturer of hand planes with a long history, which is based in Miki City in Hyogo Prefecture. The company is known for its wide range of high-quality planes in the traditional Japanese style. A Japanese plane is used for planing surfaces with a kanna, as a result of which the authentic, completely natural beauty of the wood can be brought out. Kanna are simple tools that reflect the basic function of a plane. The blade is two-layer forged and has a conical shape. It is several times thicker than the blades of European planes, which allows for smooth guiding of the tool. The cap has a double function, as it also works as a chip breaker. Due to the fact that the kanna is not equipped with mechanisms that would facilitate the setting of the tool, before its first use, the blade should be chamfered to fit it into the tapered groove located in the body. In order to minimize friction, the sole of the plane with the blade slot has a slightly concave shape.
