I recently purchased the Sargent 5607 pictured below (Sargent V.B.M. on the blade). I was hoping to make this a user, but the blade doesn't appear to have much meat left, and the current bevel is ground at around 15 degrees. As a consequence, when the knuckle is locked, it actually is clamping across part of the bevel. Is this a problem (i.e. will it stablize/clear shavings well)?
On a related note, do any of you know of a compatible replacement iron? I don't expect to find one with built-in lateral adjuster, I'd just like one that will mate with the depth adjustment teeth reasonably well.
Thanks in advance.
