Quangsheng

Quangsheng planes are a shining example of what happens when some hugely talented Chinese engineers are asked to manufacture to a standard rather than a price.

I cannot fault their selection of materials or their workmanship, and the end results would happily grace the bench of the most esteemed cabinetmaker. Particularly impressive are their water hardened, T10 carbon steel blades which are hardened to RC63 (T10 optimises a couple of points harder than oil hardening steels) and take an exceptionally fine edge.
