    Looks amazing but no way I'd ever be able to afford one, without hitting the lotto. Does anyone actually use such a tool or does it sit on a shelf all the time?

    Thanks for the heads up. I didn't think about the title name being review. I had someone ask me before when I mentioned I was getting the plow plane that they'd like to know more about the blade...

    I'll measure tomorrow but I believe you could n9tch it and set the depth all the way out and use them but I'd have to double check to be sure. I'm not sure I'd ever do that to the old blades it would...

    To my knowledge no new ones are made but old working ones can be had for 100 to 200 bucks from the pickers. If you are good at picking they run 30 to 50 bucks on average.

    He's not one to mince words over things. He says what he feels about things and gives an initial reaction. I'm sure there are reasons for some of the choices they made in materials but I'm surprised...

    Old hand files, old circular saw blades no carbide, railroad spikes, bandsaw blades, all make excellent starter knives. To make a knife from steel that is already hardened you first need to soften it...

    They should work, though the plane I purchased has the adjustment notch on the other side of the blade so I'll need to notch them myself for use but other than that they should work just fine. I do...
