Block plane is the basic plane used for shaving any small work that may be hard to work with a smoothing plane. Michi series is a perfect beginner block plane for anyone starting woodworking. The blackmith is 3rd generation Tsunesaburo who is a plane maker in Miki City, Hyogo prefecture. The blade is stamped with the character "michi" which translates to road or "the way". 

The chipbreaker which is the second blade that comes with the plane, breaks the wood fibers immediately after they are cut and reduce tears.
