I just received an old Stanley 9 1/2 block plane with the Knuckle cap design (circa 1920s). Pretty awesome design to say the least.
Anyway, the blade is rather thin and bent :-(
Should I just get one of those nice PM-V11 blades from LV or just source a used one locally? It just seems like such a nice plane.
I also bought a 1950s 9 1/2 with the normal twist cap design. That blade is also a bit bent (concave) but not as bad as the older model. It's also a bit thicker.
Is this also a candidate for a new blade?
Cheers
