This Soichiro 45mm laminated wood hand plane is a Japanese-made tool engineered for superior performance on tough timber, with a SK-5 steel blade and stainless steel sole plate. It excels at planing laminated wood, plywood and other hard materials that are a challenge to ordinary planes. Professionals choose this plane to achieve a smooth, tear-out-free finish on composite woods and hardwoods, thanks to its specialised blade, smooth metal base plate, and durable construction. Uniquely designed for demanding tasks, it delivers consistent results where standard planes struggle, making it an indispensable addition to any serious carpenter’s toolkit.
Designed for versatile uses, this plane is ideal for finishing glued-laminated beams, plywood sheets, and dense hardwood boards. Use it for surfacing laminated worktops, smoothing veneered panels, and refining joints on engineered lumber. Its optimised blade angle slices cleanly through hard grain and resinous glue lines, ensuring fine shavings instead of chipping. Whether you’re fitting laminated flooring edges or truing the face of a butcher-block countertop, this Soichiro plane handles the job with ease. Craftsmen also find this Japanese Kanna useful for general woodworking on oak, teak, or other hardwoods.

To use, adjust the blade as needed by gently tapping the plane iron or wooden body for proper depth – a common practice with Japanese planes. Grip the plane firmly and, unlike Western planes, pull it toward you along the wood surface. Work along or at a slight angle to the grain for the best cut, especially on laminated or cross-grain sections. The plane’s heft and sharp blade do the work – apply steady, controlled pressure on each stroke. Take care at the end of each pass to avoid digging in, especially on brittle laminate edges. Always use this tool only for woodworking tasks as intended, and keep your hands clear of the blade path. A sharp blade ensures easier, safer planing, so hone the edge as needed and enjoy the precision this specialised plane affords.
After each use, clean and store the plane with care. Wipe off any resin or sawdust and apply a light coat of oil to the blade to prevent rust (the blade is high-carbon steel and not stainless). It’s wise to retract the blade slightly or remove it during storage to protect the cutting edge. Store the plane in a dry place away from extreme humidity to prevent the oak body from warping. Handle the blade with caution – it is extremely sharp. For safety, consider wearing cut-resistant gloves when adjusting or sharpening the blade. Keep out of reach of children. Use only on appropriate materials – do not attempt to cut metal, plastic, or any material for which this plane is not designed. By following proper care and use, this premium Japanese tool will provide reliable service and lasting performance for years to come.
