My first hunk of PM-V11

[Scott Brodersen]

I bought a Stanley 151 on eBay and the iron turned out to be pretty badly pitted on the back. This just came in the mail:

I've been curious about this steel so I decided to pay the extra 10 bucks.

My few PMv-11 blades have impressed me with their edge holding ability compared to the other steel in my shop.

Another fan here. It is always refreshing when something is just empirically what they say it is.

Count me as a fan, also. I have a bunch of PM-V11 chisels and plane blades. Easy to sharpen and stays sharp longer.

It is more expensive than plain carbon steel.

I have bumped PMV11 up to "accumulate" status at my place. I started with just one...

I'm excited to try it out from reading these glowing reviews!

I have the PM-V11 blades in my Stanley spokeshaves and love them! You may need to open the mouth a bit as they are thicker than OEM Stanley blades.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind when I go to set it up.

I have had excellent results with PM-V11. Better than anything else that I have which is about every type of blade / iron.
One thing that I have noticed is the blades perform better after the second sharpening.
That, however, may be my imagination as I do not have any real evidence to support that. Just a gut feel.

Regards,

I had to open the mouth by around 0.5 mm or so, then took it for a spin

Wicked good steel. If there's an option for it in an order from Veritas, I pay the two dollars.
