Ten years ago I bought a Lie Nielsen 5 1/2 for $375 plus tax. I know that because the price tag is still on the box. I was collecting Lie Nielsen planes at the time and purchased it for my colection. When I received it, I opened the bag, ran the plane over a piece of cherry and then dusted off and waxed the plane and returned it to the box. It is as new.
This fine bench plane has a good weight and handles exceptionally well, a2.3/8" blade width making it perfect for flattening the surfaces of wide boards. Needless to say, all the usual high quality features are present on this Lie-Nielsen classic. Length 14.3/4", Weight 7lbs.
