I've been looking to get a Stanley Bailey #5 in user condition. In that quest, I've come across a Keen Kutter K5. It appears to be in very good condition, knob and tote are replacements but look perfect. It appears to be an exact copy of a Stanley Bedrock 605. I've read that these were made by Stanley for Keen Kutter.
Ignoring resale value, and assuming both are ready to use and cost the same to buy, which would you prefer to USE: The K5 / Bedrock 605 style or a Bailey #5?
