About this mini hand plane

The Kakuri Mini Plane – White Oak Body, 42mm is designed for woodworking tasks where precision and finesse matter most. Its compact size makes it especially effective for refining small components, cleaning up joints, and performing final finishing passes that larger planes struggle to handle.

Built around a solid white oak body and fitted with a sharp high-carbon steel blade, this plane reflects the practical elegance of traditional Japanese hand tools. It is a dependable choice for makers who value accuracy, clean results, and a strong connection between tool and material.

Performance & use cases

This mini hand plane excels in detail-oriented work. The 42mm blade width is ideal for controlled material removal, allowing you to take fine shavings when fitting joints, easing edges, or adjusting small surfaces. Its short sole and balanced weight make it easy to guide with one hand, offering excellent control in confined or delicate areas.

The white oak body provides both strength and a naturally smooth glide, helping the plane track cleanly across the wood. The blade can be adjusted by hand, allowing quick changes to cutting depth as the task demands. This responsiveness makes it particularly useful during finishing stages, where subtle adjustments can significantly improve the final result.

In workshops across the UAE, where makers often work on custom furniture, small objects, or precision assemblies, this plane proves especially practical. It is well suited to cabinetmaking, instrument work, and detailed joinery, supporting consistent results in both home and professional workshop environments.
