Lie-Nielsen No. 97 Large Chisel Plane

A Chisel Plane is not meant to function as an ordinary plane because it has no support ahead of the blade. However, as a clean-up tool, with the blade set flush with the sole, this plane excels at removing glue, trimming plugs and dovetails flush or cleaning the very corners of rebates. Made from original patterns from the chisel that was discontinued by Stanley in 1944. The large chisel plane is in the original size, 250mm(10") x 57mm (2.1/4"). Bronze body and cap, cherry knob, and A2 cryogenically treated blade adjuster with a hefty 4.8mm(3/16") blade.
