Anyone know who's manufacturing the new hand planes Woodcraft has introduced?

I don't know their specific names, but I think they live in China.

More seriously, my guess is that Woodcraft contracted with one or more Chinese firms to produce their house line called "Wood River."

Yes,the Wood River planes are Chinese. Maybe they should rename them for some river in China!! They didn't look bad to me,but I didn't take the plastic off,full of oil inside,so I didn't see the plane's components taken apart. Nor could I test the blade. I expect a replacement blade would fit.
