While a western woodworker will typically buy an extra plane blade when purchasing a new plane, a typical Japanese craftsman will by an extra Dai (plane body) to go with the hand-forged blade. To meet the Japanese craftsman’s need, we have found a quality source – Mr. Inomoto, who makes each Dai by hand.
