Let customers speak for us
from 1597 reviewsCouple times I had some question about my purchases and they respond very quick and thoughtful. The products I ordered are careful made and one of a kind.
I bought this Shione Swedish steel plane, as well as a 48mm Tsunesaburo with Super Blue steel and a 50mm Tsunesaburo plane with powder HSS for use with oak and other hardwoods. I was skeptical about HSS, thinking it would be difficult to sharpen properly and that it perform poorly compared to blue steel blades. However, I can produce a glass-smooth surface on American red oak with all three of these planes and it is difficult for me to tell the difference between them. It remains to be seen which one holds its edge the longest, but for initial use all three are excellent. They make my western planes look like junk toys.
Great shop fast shipping packaged extremely well very helpful
Great saw with an awesome handle wrap. This shop delivers quickly and packs products very well.
Fantastic! I love them, after some adjustments they work very well!
They have a great selection of gorgeous tools. I have made a number of purchases and received a great service every time. Very fast postage to Ireland.
Comes sharp and with an excellent finish. Really easy to use.
