Blades and Plans for Krenov-style Wooden Planes

Lee Valley Tools has acquired Hock Tools. The transition is under way as they work to get a new Hock Tools website up and running and processing orders. 
Until then, please contact customerservice@leevalley.com with the Hock item number, and they’ll be glad to advise if they have it, or when they expect it. Note that pricing will remain the same, and shipping will be at no charge.


I got the two plane blades. I just sharpened up one of them and put it in a "Krenovian" plane I made years ago. It is a great improvement over the Record brand blade I had been using. Thanks for being there! -- DF

 Plane Iron Assemblies

These blades were developed in collaboration with the faculty and staff at James Krenov's Fine-Woodworking studio here in Fort Bragg. 3/16" thick, they won't deflect or chatter under the toughest use. Designed specifically for the finely-tuned handmade wooden plane, these irons are un-beatable. Bevel is 30°. They come complete with chip-breaker and assembly screw. High carbon steel.
