I recently bought a bunch of Suizan saws that I was really impressed with after using them. I saw this plane and figured I would give it a try since it costs a bunch less than some of the "contractor - grade" iron planes (which are generally junk unless you spend hours squaring, flattening, and sharpening them). My little amazon box showed up and I felt something fairly heavy inside. Upon opening the box, I found a beautiful chunk of white oak with a big hunk of steel sticking out of it. The iron and chip breaker were pretty snug in the Dai (that's what the block is called). Instructions were not provided so I searched around for instructions on how to set up a kana plane. Yep, it's going to need a little work to get it functioning but it goes pretty quick. The iron felt pretty sharp so I left it alone. I had to square up the chip breaker feet to fit it properly to the iron but it was very minimal - like 20 seconds on the stone to get it perfect. Next came fitting the iron and chip breaker to the Dai. Mine had a noticeable hump on the rear mating surface as though they had intentionally left extra material there for hand fitting the iron. So, I worked the hump down with a chisel and then worked on the rails and the chip breader slot. I probably spent 20 minutes total on fitting the iron, testing/chiseling/repeat ad nauseum. Finally, the iron cleared the face of the Dai and I could feel the edge ready to go. I grabbed a piece of poplar and immediate started ripping off beautiful paper thin curls of material. I am incredibly happy with this plane and look forward to using it on harder material.
