The fancy name for this plane is herashi kanna. When I purchased it, I wasn\'t sure I could bring it back to working condition. The blade and chip breaker were rusted in place. I was encouraged by the maker\'s mark. I thought that the blacksmith who made it sure was proud of his work because he took the time to make it stand out. The dai was lapped, trued, and the sole was relieved in the traditional manner for a scrub plane. It was also waxed twice with bowling alley wax for a good ride. FYI, some Japanese carpenters actually apply a very thin coat of oil as they use the plane. The blade back was lapped flat. The cutting edge was sharpened to 6000 grit. The chip breaker was corrected, ground to the traditional 60/20 angle, and coated with traditional Japanese camellia oil to prevent rusting. Note that one of the ears of the chip breaker is broken off. That will not effect use as I corrected the fit. Also note that there are some dimples in the blade. These are the result of me having to tap out the blade to correct it. They will go away as you resharpen it
