No Need Blade Sharpening and Chip Breaker Adjustment!
Best Japanese plane even for beginner!
A cutting edge is replaceable, so there is no need to spend time sharpening the blade. Also, since a chip breaker can attach the main blade, there is no need to fine-tune the chip breaker (only main blade adjustment with a hammer is required.) You can set up the plane easily and start your work quickly. It is a good choice for beginners and home DIYers as well as professional woodworkers.

今まで安物のカンナを使っていたが、作業性が悪いのでこれを買ってみた。正解だった。本当に薄くきれいに削ってくれる。

Mine hasn’t had much use yet but this is a great tool for the money. Cuts incredibly well right out of the box. Keep in mind that you may have to periodically adjust the plane body. Well worth the price.

固い朴の木まな板をきれいにするために購入。刃の出方を最小限に調整し、簡単にきれいにすることができました。固い木材は、若干斜めにして手前に引くようにするとうまく削れました。

今回初めてこの鉋のことを知りました。鉋は刃を研ぐのが大変であり、切れなくなったら刃を替えることで作業が届こうることがない、便利である。しかもよく切れることである。

廃材を燃やす前に表面の塗料を除去したいと思ってカンナを考えた。しかしなかなか難しい。刃を髪の毛ほど出せと書いてあるが、その調節が難しい。刃を出しすぎるとつっかかって削れない。引っ込めすぎると何も削れない。刃を出す感触は経験しかない。また対象の木材が平らなら良いが少しでも反っていると（たいていの木材は多少反っている！）一部しか削れない。それやこれやで頭で描いた感じに削ることは意外に難しいというのが実感。スクレイパーと合わせ技で挑戦している。買う方はGOODLUCK！

It takes some practice to adjust the blade but once you get it down, it is simple!

I've been using this plane for a short while and I'm really liking this kanna plane. Aside from adjusting the blade it pretty much works out of the box. The dai (plane body) was already flat in front of the blade and has a slight relief behind the blade (which I heard was normal). But it is worth checking to make sure the dai hasn't warped or something.One of the big reasons I went with this plane was because of it's replaceable blade. It's not traditional, but I also didn't want to deal with buying additional, expensive whetstones. I like the option and convenience of just tossing the blade after it dulls. And so far I've been impressed by the sharpness of the blades. I've been able to plane end grain and do chamfering without tear out on old growth Douglas fir. Also I don't particularly want to futz around with further sharpening and spending a bunch of time tuning a new plane like a lot of other woodworkers talk about with Japanese planes.Bottom line, the Kakuri plane is a tool that gets out of your way and works out of the box. I'd buy again.

I like the replaceable small blade tip insert. Compared to my Swiss Rali plane of similar width, this plane cuts easier and produces a smoother surface. The Kakuri cost less than the Rali. However, the two planes differ in other ways and may not be direct alternatives for you. Each company offers an array of planes. Read the specs carefully for both before choosing. The Kakuri Toshizo has a typically long (for a Japanese wood plane) base in front of the blade and is meant to be pulled. This feature makes it easier to keep the plane base flat to the wood that I am working on when I first start to plane. Recommended. Note that not all Kakuri planes have the replaceable small blade inserted into an larger holding piece. The clue seems to be the word Toshizo appended to the main name of Kakuri. Replacement blades come in a set of six for about $5 per blade at the time of writing.
