I do not know about you but I like my tools to look nice as well as be functional so I have stripped and repainted both of them.
They have been precision ground and are flat and the sides ground square to the bottom.
The blades have been touched up both top and bottom so no or very little honing is necessary when sharpening.
Other than listed there is nothing to buy, no cleaning, no hours of tedious lapping. Ready to go except for sharpening. Most people prefer to sharpen themselves and to help keep my costs down I do not sharpen, but for an extra $10 I will do that also.
First up is a Keen Kutter K 4. I think the K series is the best deal going. It is the same plane as the Bedrock round side. Stanley just changed the casting numbers when it introduced the flat side. I put a picture of a flat side and this one side by side so you can see the frog seating is the same.
It has sat around for quite a while because I didn't have t knob or tote, so there are a few dark spots because of casting porosity. And one wouldn't know they were there except for the quality of the grind.
I finally stumbled on a tote and high knob I made out of cherry. The front knob has an open pitch pocket but doesn't effect function. The plane originally came with a low knob so if it is a problem to you it has been noted.
Also it has a small blade adjuster and a lot of people prefer the large one so if purchasing I can swop for a larger one, just note it . Asking $90 plus shipping
