| Classification | Type of wooden hand plane |
A razee plane is a style of wooden hand plane which has a section of its rear cut away, so that the plane has a lower handle. This design makes the plane lighter, with a lower centre of mass, and puts the handle closer to the workpiece and cutting edge – giving the user greater control.

Despite their advantages razee planes are not as common, likely because they were originally slightly more expensive to buy.[compared to?]
Etymology
The name razee may be derived from the historic razee ship conversion, in which a wooden sailing ship is modified by removing upper decks to lower the ship's centre of mass.
