Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Very good quality - incredible cuts when sharpened.

Have not used it yet but is sturdy well made & it is stanley-made.

It was so sharp that i accidentally grazed my finger against the edge and it effortlessly sliced to the bone.

Made in england iron which is within half a thousandths of .

Price

For a 10$ blade this works really well.

Cost to purchase a new stanley plane would have been $55.

But the correct blade cost 2 1/2x as much, at the time of this review.

For the money, it's hard to beat.

Packaging/appearance

Not sure where these are made, but the plane iron came in a stanley package and fits my stanley bench plane.

Posted are photos of the edge and reverse of the iron.

Competitiveness

I used mine in an old miller falls #9 plane which is comparable to a stanley #4 in type.

I'm sort of thinking i should've sprung for the more expensive blade from veritas.
