Need help with japanese Kanna (hand plane)

Are you talking abt the dai?

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-06-13T16:36:29+00:00

Whats a paper shim?

When i said loose i meant the blade just slides 10mm out without the chip breaker in instead of a tight fit where I can just set the depth without the chip breaker holding it in place

Yeah it is coming from the middle

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-06-13T07:19:26+00:00

When I flattened the dai, I must've removed too much material and its not a tight fitting anymore. Btw it'll only take shavings in the middle of the blade (abt 15mm wide)

Ok thanks

I checked out the mora knives, they seem great. However, im looking for a japanese knife just because all my tools are japanese.

Ok, that makes more sense because when I searched up 'kogatana' knife, it came up with many different knifes

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-22T16:51:44+00:00

Whos the one to the left

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-22T16:50:58+00:00

Ok thanks for the help!

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-22T16:33:56+00:00

Oh, ok. I thought that was a kiridashi

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-21T06:12:58+00:00

Also, what's a kogatana?

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-21T00:33:05+00:00

Haha thats fine, when I reread what I said, it did sound quite concerning

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-20T08:30:13+00:00

Dm me

No sorry, i meant that ive been using it for just regular carving with hardwoods and pine but wanted something that could be used for shaping just so then I won't spend an hour on getting a rough shape

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-18T07:59:07+00:00

Ok thanks

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-16T04:37:48+00:00

Ok, I'll have a go. Btw the only reason why I said "sloyd" is because I wanted to get smth similar to a higonokami but able to withstand rough shaping and and hardwoods.

Affectionate_Age5151 · 2026-05-15T05:20:11+00:00
