LV package at my door today included these little gems.
"Made from Indonesian ebony and brass, each plane has an adjustable high-speed steel (Rc62-64) blade. The block plane footprint is just 3-1/8" x 13/16" and the chisel plane just 2-15/16" x 1/2". Blades are 1/2" wide by 1/16" thick."
The blades are going to need some honing as they dont feel all that sharp. But the soles are flat and holding the blades up to a straight edge, the backs appear to be flat. They're made in China, but there's nothing cheap looking about them. Only the price was cheap - $21.50 for both.
I thought these would come in handy on an upcoming jewelry box project with quite a few small parts. Can't wait to tweak the blades this weekend and try them out on some scrap.
