Japanese hand planes, like all things, need a little TLC with use. When the side grooves that hold the blade in place begin to loosen, and the blade is able to slide beyond the opening of the mouth with a few taps of a hammer, it's time to adjust the tightness. Here we explain in detail everything you need to do to either fix loose or tight side grooves. You don't have to be a seasoned craftsman to follow these steps. Let's get the groove on!
In this video, we go over these important, easy-to-follow steps to help tune and adjust the tightness of your hand plane:
- Fixing loose side grooves
- Fixing tight side grooves
Japanese hand planes require less power to smooth uneven surfaces and correct warping on the wood. In addition, Kakuri uses high-quality carbon steel for the plane's blade to ensure a much sharper and smoother finish and a more enjoyable woodworking experience.

I got one of your small 42 mm planes today and the kanna / blade can protrude out of the mouth. Literally brand new. I thought that I should be able to use the plane if I wanted without the chip breaker. This is second one I have received like this. Poor quality if you ask me.

At the risk of telling you something you already know, these planes ship with the blade upside down. While I'm quite certain there is a good reason for this, it can be confusing. You may find that once you make this change, the blade stops a good 1/4 to 3/8" (6mm-9mm) away from the mouth. If so, all is as intended, and now you have some setup work to do. Japanese planes almost never come ready to use as shipped, although, I will say, Kakuri ships some fairly sharp blades with their product. Again, if you already knew this, my apologies for wasting your time.

I should be more specific. The blade goes bevel down. It ships bevel up. In bevel up configuration, both my Kakuri planes appear to have a blade that extends to far past the mouth. When I turn them bevel down -- which is the correct position -- I find that they do not even reach the mouth, let alone protrude. Hope that completes what I was trying to communicate.

It's possible that if you live in a drier climate than Japan the wood block has shrunk a little bit leading to some looseness. And no, most modern Japanese planes are not designed to be used without the chip breaker.
