The Hock Krenov-style plane kit includes a precision-ground high-carbon steel plane iron and chip breaker with all the hardware needed to complete the plane. You provide the wooden body, which you make and shape yourself to your preferred dimensions and style.

Dense, stable hardwoods work best for hand plane bodies. Hard maple, cherry, beech, and rosewood are popular choices because they resist wear at the sole and hold their shape over years of use. The wood should be thoroughly dried and stable before milling to final dimensions.

Hock Tools uses high-carbon steel for their plane irons and knife blades, ground and heat-treated to a hardness that achieves excellent edge retention while remaining practical to sharpen. Hock irons are widely considered an upgrade over the irons shipped with most entry-level and mid-range planes.

Hock plane irons are designed for wooden-body Krenov-style planes in the kit configuration. The Hock plane iron assembly is intended for wooden plane bodies; verify the specific dimensions and width match your plane before purchasing.

A Krenov-style plane kit is an intermediate woodworking project. You need the ability to accurately mill flat, square stock and cut a precise mouth opening for the blade. The hardware and blade are pre-made, so the challenge is woodworking, not metalwork. Many makers complete their first plane in a weekend.

Virtually any stable hardwood, stabilized wood, G10 fiberglass composite, or other durable material can be used for handle scales on the chef knife kit. The full-tang design gives you a wide range of scale options.

Yes. A hand plane or knife making kit makes an excellent gift for woodworkers who appreciate craft and making. Pair it with a quality chisel from the chisels collection or a finishing tool for a complete workshop gift.

A jack plane is a longer, cambered-iron plane used for rapid material removal and initial flattening. A smoothing plane is shorter with a finely set, straight-edged iron used last to bring a surface to finish quality. Beginners often start with a smoothing or block plane for versatility. See ready-to-use options in the hand planes & spokeshaves collection.

Hock irons are sharpened like any premium plane iron: flatten the back first on a waterstone or diamond plate, then hone the bevel through progressive grits until a clean burr peels away. The high-carbon steel responds well to both waterstone and oil stone sharpening. Visit the learning blog for detailed sharpening guides.
