"Echigo no Yuki-akari" by Usui Kengo 976 JP 1 70 mm Yoita,
Nigata


The steel is Swedish Assab K120 carbon steel (charcoal smelted special steel which is very close to tama-hagane steel. Tama-hagane steel is the steel used to forge Japanese swords). Perfect to bring out the sheen on softer woods. Planing is always superior to sanding when it comes to soft woods.
