Summary: The Best Plane You'll Ever Own
Comment: I started with this plane, and was so impressed, I ordered two others. I use them for my boatbuilding hobby, and couldn't be happier. I find myself returning to this plane more and more, while my metal Stanley is collecting dust. Its a beauty, and works like nothing I've ever had. I appreciate the fact that these are made in the USA, by an American. Steve is a class act, easy to reach, and clearly knows his craft. Spring for the money. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: As good as it gets!
Comment: I have a Knight 45 degree coffin smoother, and it not only makes wonderfully thin, fluffy curls of wood, it is a beautiful piece of work! I recommend it highly.

Summary: The best plane I own
Comment: I am truly amazed every time I pick up this tool. It has produced nothing but feathery shavings since I first used it. It is easier to adjust than my Bailey style iron planes and I get better results. What more can I ask for?Well, it feels like an extension of my hands. It is that comfortable to use. Did I mention that it looks great? That's not really important in my shop but there it is nonetheless. I am slowly changing all of my planes to Knight Toolworks.
They are less expensive than any other top-end plane on the market. You will get better results. Take a few minutes to learn to adjust the iron (I DO mean a few minutes) and you will be hooked.

Summary: My favorite plane I own!!
Comment: I had always thought that hand tools were old school -- you know, if it has power it must be better, right? Wrong! I got sick of sanding, sanding, sanding my projects and finally decided to try out a handplane. This is the first plane I ever purchased. WOW! That's all I can say. Right out of the box I couldn't even imagine how it could work properly because the mouth was so tight against the iron and I could barely feel the iron beyond the sole of the plane. But when I took it into the shop and tried it on some beech, oak, maple, and pine scraps I had laying around I was absolutely shocked at how quickly (usually one pass, sometimes two) it smoothed the wood out and what a glass like surface it left behind.
I can't begin to adequately describe the pleasure of using this plane. It does take a few days of practice to get the method down correctly (unless you've already used planes before) and I found adjusting the iron to be a piece of cake (Steve sends detailed instructions on how to do this, it's really easy!).
If you are sick of sanding like I was and want a quick way to get your wood glass smooth, then this is the tool you need. Not to mention the purpleheart wood is absolutely gorgeous besides.
