In my video, I performed planing a SPF wood timber using each Kanna. As a result of fine tuning of wood bottom and sharpening the blade edges, wood shaving leaped out from Kanna is very thin like a silk fabric.

In the case of long-Dai, Ryusen/竜泉, because the head of Dai is easily damaged when hammering it to pull out of the blade, you should follow the steps below as shown at the end of video-

1) Turn down the head of Dai

2) Put your one hand on the blade head.

2) Strike the head of Dai against the table several times, catch the blade by your hand.

Photo-9 and 10 are the viewing of blade-edge with the slightly extended and Dai-sole from the Dai-jiri (Dai-bottom) , blade-edge is perfectly paralleled to the dai-sole (blade mouth), then Photo-11 shows the gap of blade-mouth of each kanna at the condition of Photo-9 and 10. The gaps are narrow, especially right side Torahide.

When you buy a used Kanna you have to set up it to planning in smoothly by yourself. Not only sharpening the blade-edge, but also reshape the blade, also sharpening the chip-breaker blade (counter-blade) and tune the sole of wood bottom “Dai”. It took a few days to have these tuning. If you have Kanna for the first time you might be confused because of many things to do. (See the below website) Now you have a chance to get ready-to-use. For the price of an unused vintage tool, you can purchase three different sized Kanna. As soon an the Kanna arrives, you can use it, but you should re-sharpen the blade from time to time to maintain its sharpness.

Maintenance I always use the whetstone #1,000 grit for mid and #6,000 grit for final sharpening the blade-edge (See the Amazon-site)
