Unfortunately the link for the No. 1 on the site above was playing up. It's working now. US$119 for a No. 1. That looks pretty decent. The Luban version (bronze) sells for AU$149. The Luban isn't bedrock design, while the WoodRiver doesn't have the lateral lever that the other V3's do. I figure postage would make the price about the same once you factor in the exchange rates.

I already have a couple of WoodRivers and like them, so think I know which way I'd be inclined to go.

Of course, if Jim stocks them, that'll give me an excuse to go back for another sharpening workshop

And with Jim you mean Jim Davey

Any idea what style frog is on the #1?

I gather that it's a V3, just without the lateral lever, which means that it's Bedrock. I would be inclined to check that with WoodCraft.

And, I didn't say Jim's full name, as there can only be one Jim, when it comes to planes

But, yes. Jim Davey
