First of all, here's the mandolin content.
I had three or four plates that I had to rip the center joint out of because I wasn't happy with the glue joint. I decided it was time to resurrect an old #7 plane that I bought a long time ago in a junk shop.
The blade was in bad shape, so I started re-grinding it to get it ready to sharpen. I noticed that it is tapered, thicker metal toward the cutting edge, and is laminated with a layer of harder steel at the cutting edge, sort of like a Japanese chissel. I thought it probably wasn't a Stanley blade, so I looked for a name in the rust. I found - BUHL .
Google brings up pages of references to Buhl airplanes and propeller blades.
Does anybody know anything about Buhl tools?
