30% higher for steel does not necessarily translate to 30% higher in the
store - as Jim says, the final cost is arbitrary. The steel in one of
these blades might cost $2, so 30% higher would be a 60=A2 increase in
the final blade because of the steel. Anybody know what one if these
things will cost? How does that compare to their regular blade
offerings? L-N's? Rev Ron's? A used Stanley blade on the Bay? An entire
Stanley plane at a garage sale with a good blade?
