Looking at the online catalog description for the Veritas LA Jack plane, there is this at the end of the blurb:
"Blades are shipped with a pyramidal storage box, to keep the edge at its sharpest when not in use."
What's that all about? They're not subscribing to that old myth that a things stay sharp inside pyramids, are they?
Edit: Fooled me on that one. This must have been posted last April 1st. The inch thick blade should have told me, but . . .
