One of the actual although minor advantages of a tsutsumi is, that it allows for thinner stock to be more easily worked with when crosscutting end grain on a shooting board. Very thin pieces of wood tend to catch the plane bed. Old english mitre planes or bevel down planes in general have the same advantage, but the main intention there was probably decreasing chatter, as the thinner blades were more prone to that.
Thank you for a timely and informative video. In shopping for a (second high-end) kanna, in addition to 包堀, which you explained in this video, I've also seen some described as 半包. What is it, and how is it different from 包堀? It probably does not cradle the blade as much, I presume. In that case, how much less complicated is it to tune up a 半包 dai? Thanks very much in advance.
