I.A. Lutz Rosewood Mini Plane

This little gem is machined from solid Rosewood. The body is 3 1/8" (80mm) long x 7/8" (22mm) wide. The high-speed steel blade measures 5/8" (16mm) wide and is properly tempered to hold a fine, sharp edge. The blade is held firmly in place with a heavy lever cap and brass knob. This little plane is a real tool, not a toy. It is designed to excel at fine, controlled trimming and detail tasks too small for conventional planes.

16mm blade width x 80mm overall body length.

Tool blades require sharpening and honing before use.
