BENCH PLANE BLADES
     These 3/32" thick blades offer a substantial improvement over the inferior chrome-vanadium junk that comes with most new tools. Our high carbon steel blades can be honed easier and sharper. And our Cryogenically treated A2 blades will hold an edge longer. These blades fit the Lie-Nielsen bench planes, too, with a simple frog adjustment. If you're looking for high carbon blades for the LN planes, these are they.

High Carbon Steel:

1 3/4" wide   (fits #3-Style Planes)  #BP175  $36.00
2"     (fits #4 & #5-Style Planes)     #BP200  $38.00
2 1/8" (fits some older types)         #BP212  $42.00
2 1/4" (fits some older types)         #BP225  $42.00
2 3/8" (fits #4-1/2, #5-1/2, #6, #7)  #BP238  $40.00
2 5/8"      (fits #8-Style Planes)     #BP262  $43.00

Why are some blades black and some shiny?
CHIP BREAKERS
To maximize your plane's performance, a thicker chip breaker (cap iron) can stabilize the blade's cutting edge reducing vibration and chatter. HOCK Chip Breakers are 3mm thick (.118"), almost twice as thick as a stock chip breaker. We offer them, with a knurled cap screw, in 1 3/4" (for the #3 planes), 2" (#4 & #5), 2 3/8" (#6 & #7) and 2 5/8" (#8) widths: 
1-3/4" wide    (#3)           #BK175         $26.00
2"  wide    (#4 & #5)       #BK200         $28.00
2-3/8" wide   (#6 & #7)  #BK238         $30.00
2-5/8" wide (#8)              #BK262         $38.00
       Will a HOCK Breaker fit my non-Stanley/Record Plane?
It seems the BLOCK PLANE is the workhorse of many cabinet shops. Although taken for granted, this is a very handy and versatile tool. And, like the larger bench planes, it responds well to a better blade and a little TLC .  Also available in Cryo A2.

Which One Fits My Block Plane?

All are 3/32" thick x 4 1/4" Long.

PLANE KIT
Our precision made kit provides a quick, sure way to realize the satisfaction of using a handmade wooden plane. Complete with a HOCK PLANE-IRON ASSEMBLY all you need is a drill, some clamps, glue, a knife to adjust the throat, sandpaper (or plane) to true the sole, and a means of sharpening the iron. A HOCK kit is ideal for the novice as well as the professional woodworker who can't find the time to make a plane (or another one or two...) Our design is a basic Krenov-style, flat-bottom wooden plane -- simple and elegant. We use Rock Maple for the body and Jarrah for the sole.
