Review on WoodRiver Low Angle Block Plane With Adjustable Mouth by Mikey Shook

I got this on sale at woodcraft (sorry ebay) and compared to the alternates it is a real bargain. It is great for cleaning up end grain, small tear outs and edges. The one I got was true and ready to go out of the box. All I had o do was wipe the protective gunk off the cap and iron. The cap iron is released by pulling up on the knuckle, a nice touch. I did a little cleanup on Lyptus, hard maple and teak end grain. It worked OK out of the box and better after sharpening.Compared to the LV and LN it doesn't have the available specialty irons (toothed or high angle). In fact Woodcraft doesn't carry any irons?Compared to the competition LV is $55 more and LN $65 more. Yes they have more options and the LN better build quality but not IMHO worth the premium--unless you want to avoid Chinese built planes.
