knives

• Ex-Libris Horizontal Plough Plane - you have no idea how frustrating it is to try and square up a book without one of these. I've ruined more textblocks than I care to admit. I've looked everywhere for a replacement blade for the one we have and I can't even figure out what brand it was, less still find anyone else making plough planes that use trapezoid-cross sectioned blades. I just need a new plough.
