A laser-cut stainless steel straight edge for tuning the dai (body) of a Japanese hand plane (kanna). A cutout near the mouth keeps the blade safe during use. A hole in the long end doubles as a hang point and removes weight to shift the balance point toward the back for a natural feel in hand.
A great starting point for beginners learning kanna setup.
