2pcs Adjustable SpokeShave with Flat Base, 6pcs Metal Blade and 1pcs Portable Woodworking Planes Wood Working Hand Tool Perfect for Wood Craft, Craver, Working

The cutting iron is good steel. I probably tuned them somewhat-I don't remember. It's best to verify the back is flat and the edge is straight and sharp , of course. Check the lever cap where it sits on the blade for straight. The adjusting hardware is good quality, the shiny Brass screws actually hold and adjust. Once I dialed them in I got tremendous shavings with them. The bonus wooen plane is nice, too. The steel takes a fine strong edge. It was a very good price for three nice , productive planes and it came with extra blades! Crazy! The logo says Boeray Quality Tools and I will not contradict. Thank you Boeray I lovespokeshaving and your tools make it fun.

I wondered about the negative reviews until I looked at reviews for other spoke shaves, they are about the same. Half the buyers like them and half the buyers apparently don't know how to use one. Even though the castings are a bit rough, a file reveals a sufficient number of shiny contact points to stabilize the blade. The other components are also of less than stellar quality, but none of them detract from performance when the units are properly and skillfully adjusted. Some common mistakes people make are exposing too much blade, misaligning the blade so it's not parallel with the base, and shaving against the wood grain. I was pleased to see information on the Rockwell C hardness of the blades which is about the same as high end kitchen knives. I'm happy with the purchase and had a very favorable experience using them.

I want to start off by saying that you will need to sharpen and hone all blades before use (unless used for very, very rough work), sand the bottoms of each piece flat and clear of the black coating, and file the mouths evenly. I also smoothed out the handles, where the coating had formed small bumps. Took me an hour or two to set up all 3 pieces, but this is to be expected with any plane or chisel. That said, the blades came very sharp and appear to be decent enough hardened steel. It is really nice they include the extra blades, too. If you're a beginner, don't forget to oil/lubricate every part after the initial setup.The spokeshaves work as expected, although I found the smaller one to work much smoother than the bulkier one surprisingly. I use them for making bows, handles, and paddles. They're nothing fancy, but they do the job.The block plane is cute and practical, but the design has a couple issues (still, it is well worth the price). The mouth opens straight vertically, which makes shavings sometimes bunch up. Luckily, the wood chisels cleanly with guide gouges, so it's easy to open it up 20-30 degrees. Second, the pin/wedge don't hold in very tightly, even when I got every surface sanded flush. I usually have to tap the front on my bench every 6 or so full width strokes to project the blade again. I had better results when I made and used a sugar maple wedge cut into a V, but it still slipped over time. Filed the pin down flat on the side that touched the wedge, and it held enough to take full shavings without retracting the blade. It would have worked well enough for basic chamfering or shooting without these changes, but I liked the way it looked too much to let it sit, and the cast iron body planes are not fun to use in the winter. Would definitely recommend these for beginners or frugal hobbyists!

Theses seemed like they were good quality but blades didn’t stay in place well and a bit of a pain to get them even on both sides. Someone with more experience may like these, but I returned them.

This is now my new favorite tool in the shop! I cannot believe I've gone this long without one!As recommended by others, you have to do some prep on it before you use it. Clean off the paint, make surface flat, sharpen blade, etc. I tried it before and after the maintenance and it was a COMPLETELY different tool.Cuts through wood fibers like butter. It's a little tricky to dial it in but well worth the effort!

I'm just an amateur woodworker and for what you get, the price is worth it. The spokeshaves' soles are pitted and painted over, I had to sand them flat. Plus minor casting imperfections that needed to be filed down. The blades needed to be honed to shave well. The little block plane does a good job once you learn how to adjust it. Overall I'm happy with what I got for the money that I paid.

THEY LOOK GOOD, I HAVE NOT USED THEM. THEY APPEAR TO BE SHARP.

The knives were not shaving sharp but I'm working on that. Other than that they are well made.The wood block plane is a little tricky to adjust but still a nice tool.

Works very well as intended.

came with extra blades and well packaged better than expected

They require a lot of work before they're useable: the irons are not great quality so I'll probably be swapping those out sooner than later. The little block-plane is mostly just ornamental. Fine for the price

These tools filled a needed item in hubby's workshop and he's happy to have them and quite satisfied with the quality of the spokeshaves. The little wooden planer isn't the best quality, but it's something he can work with and improve on. You can't beat the price either....and the quality is much better than what is expected for the low cost.
