Different blades for Lie-Nielsen Handplanes?

[Steve Mathews]

Besides Lie-Nielsen and IBC are there any other makers of blades for the Stanley Bed Rock style of handplanes?

The blades aren't any different than a bailey style. I have a Hock O1 blade in my LN #4.

Are all of Hock's blades 3/32" (.094") thick?

After a certain point, thickness is really not a huge difference IMO, but they are 3/32" thick.

I have Veritas PM-V11 blades in my LN #4 and #7. I had to lightly file the chipbreaker slot to make it seat properly in the plane.
