First things first: when you buy an edged tool, you WILL have to hone the blade. Planes WILL need to be tuned. This one didn't need to be honed or tuned much, and was in working shape in about 20 minutes, about the average, in my experience, for decent woodworking tools. After that, it worked like a charm. The rounded, enameled handles are a little slick if your hands get sweaty, but this is a pretty minor flaw. The blade is excellent and holds its edge through several hours of shaping white oak staves, and the 2-screw blade leveling system, though it has more play in it than I usually like, is rock solid once you get it set. This is a tool that should give good service through at least 2 generations, all for under $20- pretty good deal if you ask me.Get more detail about Stanley 12-951 SpokeShave with Flat Base.
