Recess/Notch? The Amazon description mentions the recess in the blades for easier cutting of larger diameter materials but the Knipex web site does not mention it for this specific model. Can you tell me if it has it? Thanks.

Hello Joshua- No, this particular model does not have the recess. If I were to purchase again, I probably would purchase the model with the recess for better leverage, but not a big deal, as do not use this tool that many times a year.

The rotation speed is fairly low and you will need to experiment with various blades. The standard blade does chip the edge. There is a finer circular blade but I have not used it yet. The cuts I make have not needed a perfectly chip-frre cut, and I just round the edge with sand paper. I have used it against a straight edge. You have to watch it through, because it will wonder away from the ruler it you do not put the appropriate pressure. Positioning the edge (I use a long level) requires some inventiveness.

Joshuaad, There is no recess on these cutters...but they are fantastic anyway!

Mine came with the one shown in the picture. I don't use it though, because you have to press down on what you're cutting, and the pusher gets in the way of that. It's easy to cut the end off of your finger (found out the hard way), so be sure use a piece of wood or something that won't damage the blades. A press block properly fitted to the included pusher would be most useful.

I found this on their site. Looks like a slightly more expensive model for the following bonuses: +Thicker steel stock (.185) +Satin Finish blade +Newly designed longer ergonomic handle with deeper finger grooves +Racy new blade shape with longer cutting edge +Added blade spine rasp for notching, filing, and thumb placement +Injection molded glass reinforced handle scored with grip lines It's also about half an inch longer. A little of that is the blade, most is the handle.

Hi, sorry took so long to get back to you, electric went out last night. I checked blades and they have a notch on ends of blade and 3 holes. No groves.

As stated by MLEC, the blade does have a round in the center for the shaft. That is just, one, bad photo. I have ordered many from Amazon. The other holes at both ends are just wear indicators. The newer hardened blades are the bomb.

It has a smaller shank. I used it in my 3/8" drill chuck. I got them to use on a cast iron sink and they worked great. I have since used them for many other projects. They still look new and are staying sharp so far.

If your cutting a 16D (Typical Framing nail), plan on 1/16". I honestly feel that Knipex is the finsest bolt cutter for flush cutting........Knipex is by far the best quality hand tool available. Certainly a wise investment.

Yes, you got old stock. I got the non-serrated blade in February from Amazon. I'm not sure exactly when the switch was though.

I believe it just has more blades. I'm not sure it makes a difference. I just needed a new blade because mine was dull. This one suits my needs.

No it does Not ,, however you can file or grind a small spot , I did mine like 1 inch down from handle , now throws great sparks , I used a Dremel Tool on mine took like 30 seconds to do ,,you can't even really see it unless you look very closely to back of blade ,,, so don't go thinking you have to grind /file a huge area ,

If you are referring to the slots or grooves the miter square slides in the answer is YES. It has a slot on each side of the blade.

In this particular plane it doesn't make any difference. Simplicity is it's strong point coupled with it's high quality blade produces an excellent shave. I also have a modern No4- Kunz plane and also a No4- Veratis, and the Stanley shaves the timber just as good despite not having the same amount of adjustment. The ultimate question is price versus quality. For it's price you are getting a good tool. I have several hand planes and I find this plane is the easiest to maintain and clean. All my other planes with all the adjustments on them makes it a fiddly job to clean them and set them up. I hope this information helps you.

All the same. They're not great, but you can't beat the price. Go to Home Depot, and you'll get four blades for that price. I use a Fein multimaster, and the machine makes a bigger difference in the speed of cutting than the blade does. These ones just don't last as long, but as cheap as they are, I don't mind burning them up in one use cutting plaster or anything else they're not meant for. Even the bi-metal blades are useless in wood after you go through one nail. I usually save the dull blades for cutting Sheetrock or plaster.

Includes the blade. This is a good tool. I cut 20 3 1/2 inch holes in 1" Trex, which is really hard. That dulled the tool by the end of the job. Tools are available all over and can also be resharpened.

Chisel grinds are not listed in the products description, from Kershaw directly. That feature was not included on my personal want/need lust. So I never researched it till today,
