Guide to Choosing a Japanese Hand Plane

Lightweight & Durable Bamboo Body

This is KAKURI’s first hand plane featuring a bamboo body (dai).
The body is made from laminated bamboo, the same material used in our marking gauges.

Bamboo is a lightweight material with excellent resistance to humidity.

It is easy to handle and maneuver, and it develops a richer character and patina the more you use it.

Setting Up Your Japanese Hand Plane

Taking the time to set up your hand plane (typically under one hour) will provide you with a satisfying tool for years to come. We suggest reviewing one of the many excellent online resources in English to help you prepare your Japanese hand plane for its first cut.
