Use the side of the groove for Shaving. A plane blade like a hollow sword is prepared so that the blade tip appears on the side of the table, and there are two types, right hand and left hand, depending on the direction of use. The cross section of the table is slightly wider and durable, and the lower end is gradually narrowed with steps. The lower end is a flat surface with narrow width, and the side of the wide groove is used for Shaving. A thinner so that the lower end surface does not remain is called a Hibukura plane, and is used to cut the side of a thin groove or the narrow entrance corner.
