About this wooden hand plane

The Kakuri Smooth Plane (60 mm) is a traditional Japanese hand plane built for surface refinement and finishing accuracy. Handcrafted in Sanjo, Japan, this tool combines a dense white oak body with a finely forged laminated steel blade to deliver consistent, controlled performance where surface quality matters most.

Unlike general-purpose planes, this smooth plane is designed specifically for final passes. Its wide blade allows you to level and refine larger panels efficiently, reducing the number of strokes needed while producing a clean, even surface ready for joinery, finishing, or assembly.

Performance & use cases

This plane excels during the final stages of woodworking, where precision outweighs material removal. The 60 mm blade width provides excellent coverage, making it especially effective for tabletops, cabinet panels, doors, and other broad surfaces that demand uniform smoothness.

The pull-style planing action, characteristic of Japanese tools, allows the user_toggle to draw the plane toward the body rather than push it away. This motion increases feedback through the hands, making it easier to sense grain direction and adjust pressure accordingly. The result is greater control, reduced tear-out, and a refined surface finish.

In workshop environments across the UAE—whether home studios or professional maker spaces—this plane supports careful, methodical craftsmanship. It rewards patience and proper setup, making it a reliable finishing tool for woodworkers focused on quality rather than speed.

How to use (quick guide)

• Secure your workpiece firmly on a stable bench
• Set the blade depth gradually using light taps for fine adjustment
• Pull the plane smoothly toward you, keeping even pressure
• Follow the wood grain to minimize resistance and tear-out
• Aim for thin, consistent shavings rather than aggressive cuts
• After use, retract the blade slightly to protect the edge

Final note

A refined surface changes how a finished piece looks, feels, and performs. The Kakuri Smooth Plane (60 mm) is built for those final, decisive passes that define craftsmanship.
