Blum hand planes and scrapers

[Alvin VanBumble]

Does anyone have experience with Blum handplanes/scrapers? They received a very possitive review on woodworking online. They are sure pretty. Thanks, Alvin

A search on Neanderthal Haven has a few comments as well.

I wonder about the availability of blades down the road? At least with planes that have traditional blades,there should not be a problem in finding blades several years from now.

Some older electric hand planes are like that,with impossible to find blades.
