Fine Woodworking sent me a promotional email about this company.  Since Rob Lee had a fit about the Katz-Moses router plane, I'm pretty sure his reaction to these planes isn't going to be positive.

I understood, but didn't really agree with his objections to the router plane.  However, this company could probably have worked a little more on developing their own distinctive style and not look like so much like they are reselling Veritas planes.

They look different at least.

The jkm ones were clear ripoffs of the veritas ones.

Hmmm, they "developed" the planes. I guess just another chinese manufacturer has entered the picture.

Look closer to Stanley modern planes. In any case, choice is ours, as consumers. For me, I'll support innovation and thumb my nose at copycats.
