DescriptionSmall cast iron carpenter's block plane. No blade is present. The plane intentionally has no handle, as the entire object is slid with the palm of the hand. In the place of a striking button there is a finger-sized indentation for guiding the plane. The sides of the body of the object are raised to protect the sides of the blade.On View
