I need some information on this plane. A coworker of mine gave it to me. It's from her deceased father's collection. It's a Knight Tool Works brand. The blade is wedge shaped. Unlike the other wooden plane she gave me, there is no wedge to hold the blade in place, nor is one missing as there's no room for it in the groove.
The blade has Japanese writing on it. I suspect this is a Japanese pull plane. Am I right?
How do I adjust the blade? Currently, the cutting edge doesn't even reach the sole. The only way I can see is to shave wood from the groove it sits in. This seems a really crude way to adjust it, though. Am I right?
I really want to use this plane as the blade looks magical to me. The other wooden plane is a pleasure to use.
I emailed the maker some time ago, but received no response.
Thanks for any help.
