Hi guys! it's been a while since I've posted here, getting myself ready for making my first guitar I've been spending most of my forum time over at the luthier's forum.
I continued working at the ergonomics of the krenov planes, and while I've got 2 that are comfortable, I realize the classics are just so much better! the bieng the german pattern and toted planes. so I have a new set of planes to build, this time slowly and with the best materials. I seriously cosidered just getting a couple metal ones... but after playing back and forth with my Woodriver no. 3 and my shop made one's... well, the woodriver feels cold and non friendly, also mine work as good or a little better, and feel much nicer.
so I'm considering which blades to get, I sold a few of my stuff to raise money and I just need to make a decision:
the Tsunesaburo blue steel ?
or Lee-Valley PMV-11?
what do you think? cost is about the same.
Thanks!
