I used to have Yonico products and liked them. These are cheap disposable products that get the job done. However, this reputation has not been justified. The wood fell off the first time I used it. It can be bad, which just didn't get the spiciness it deserves. It's easy to fix with a whetstone though. hope this works Just so you know, it can happen to you too. I hope not as I had a router that lasted a year of them with no problem and used it on Pine almost every day.
