u/JC_knife

I just wanted to show off my achievement after a year of waiting! I collaborated with a local blacksmith to make a planer blade in the Japanese style, with a 30-degree angle. It actually worked on my workpieces. They are quite hard, and the damage to the blade after testing is still okay. I think there will probably still be some minor damage, but I'll fix it gradually!

I bought this blade from a secondhand shop! It has some characters engraved on it, which I think say "okada". But I can't find its origin using search engines! Can someone help me?
