At one point I ended up with two of these, so I sold this one. I still have the other in the toolbox. Previous owned had sharpened the blade to a slight skew, and I didn't think I would ever have the time to correct the blade (I don't own a mechanical grinder). Seems like they would be handy for rabbets and such. The five uses are: Left Rabbet, Right Rabbet, Left Groove, Right Groove and Smoothing Plane. There was no mei/kao on the plane irons, so maker was unknown. The dai was stamped in sumi, but was not legible. Tsunesaburo is the only blacksmith I am aware of still producing this type of plane.
