CT-14 1-1/8" Foxtail Shoulder Plane

Machined and polished from solid brass, this beautiful shoulder plane looks, feels and works like no other plane in American history—it is a stunning example of craftsmanship, a joy to hold and use, and very well may be the finest commemorative tool thus far.

Unlike shoulder plane designs that share a European heritage, the CT-14 1-1/8" Foxtail Shoulder Plane was conceived with an unequalled passion for ergonomics. As the design process evolved, so did a new way of making, and using a shoulder plane.

The polished stainless steel “foxtail” seamlessly fits your hand and also serves as the iron locking lever. Most shoulder planes require you to disassemble the rear of the plane to extract the iron for sharpening— the CT-14 is just the opposite. When you lift the foxtail upward, the entire iron-locking mechanism releases in a graceful arc through the upper portion of the plane body. Slide the front sole forward and the iron is easily removed through the sole, no twisting or contortion movements required. Lastly, there are no tools required to adjust or lock the adjustable throat, making it the easiest-to-use shoulder plane available today.

As with all of our Commemorative Tools, the CT-14 1-1/8" Foxtail Shoulder Plane is in production for the first and last time and is offered exclusively to our Founder’s Circle members.
