These blades are 50mm (2") wide and 2.4mm thick made from high carbon steel with a 25° bevel. High carbon tool steel is relatively easy to sharpen and hone using conventional methods. A final wipe on a strop produces a very fine edge. A sharp blade is a joy to use. Faithfull replacement plane blades also fit other standard bench planes No. 4 and No. 5; from Stanley, Record, Footprint and other similar Bailey type bench planes. Note: These Faithfull blades represent excellent value for money. A little work sharpening the blade will be most rewarding.
