Veritas PM-V11 Bevel Up Plane Blade 1-3/4" 25 DEG

O1 steel is easy to hone and a very fine edge achieved relatively quickly, for fine finishing or the pure pleasure of working with the very sharpest of tools then go for the O1 option. PM-V11 (Powdered Metal) is a specific mixture of metals combined into a unique alloy. The resulting steel has a very fine, uniform grain structure. It is inherently more durable than steels produced using ordinary manufacturing processes. Blades made from PM-V11 are highly resistant to dulling or damage from wear and impact. These blades can take a keen edge and hold it through extended use. PM-V11 is as easy to sharpen using water stones or other common sharpening methods. Made in Canada.
