切味一番/ Kireaji-Ichiban （Size: 71mm,Sum/寸-8）, Vintage Original, New Blade& New Dai.

Blade: 72mm Wide (lower) x 116mm Tall, used.
Manufactured by Fusakazu Yamaguchi / 山口房一, a plane blacksmith from Miki City. He is the third generation of his family, following in the footsteps of Shotaro Yamaguchi, Fusataro Yamaguchi, and Fusakazu Yamaguchi. Fusakazu has already passed away and is no longer making planes.
The plane blades manufactured by Fusakazu are of extremely high quality, and are highly coveted items among enthusiasts, but are now difficult to obtain.
I happened to stop by a knife shop and found two of them. It cuts so well that I'm keeping one for myself.
Currently, the blade is sharpened to an angle of about angle of 27 degree.
Chip-breaker: 62mm Wide x 55mm Tall, used.

Wood Bottom Dai: 89mm Wide x287mm Length x 36mm Thickness, NEW. The surface of the Dai-sole is tuned in two-point touch.

Since the Dai is new, the gap of the blade mouse is very narrow (Photo-8) when the cutting edge is exposed.
The gap in the blade mouth is so small that you may not need a chip breaker for a while. Even if you insert the chip breaker, you will hardly be able to see the cutting edge. You may be surprised at how thin it can be plane with just one blade.

·In my video, I performed planing a SPF wood timberwithout chip-breaker because blade-mouth is very narrow. Wood shavings leapedout from the Kanna were very thin as a stocking net. I have tried many planes,but cutting edge of this Kanna is excellent, honestly, I was very surprised.

You may think that the price is alittle high. You can buy a used, unmaintained Kanna around $30 to $50 onthe ,but if you don't have much experience with Kanna, maintaining itso that it can be used properly will not work even if you spend days doing itproperly.It is generally said that even a carpenter needs fiveyears to become proficient with a plane, and it is the most difficult toolamong carpentry tools.

To improve your Kanna skills, itis essential to first use a plane that has been fully maintained for immediateuse.

I think that the price is worththe time and effort of maintenance.In particular, the superiority ofJapanese Kanna is more evident with a new base.
