Hi Group, This may have been covered before and I missed it, but does anyone know what is going on with Bronze edge trimmers? I brought a L-N one decades ago and it appears they are out of production as with other L-N products. There is a Veritas bronze edge trimmer on the bay for sale that looks well made and just like the L-N one. I would like to buy the L-V R&L pair of trimmers because the Tool Dealers are getting crazy money for the L-V Lefts. Any idea what is going on? Tommy Hall |

I just saw a couple pair of them for bids at Martin J. Donnelly’s online auction. Not sure what the hammer price was for those though. I bought a right handed one last year for 2/3s the cost of a new one. Nathan Goodwin H.I.S. Carpentry Honesty. Integrity. Service. (617)347-6744 Instagram: @hiscarpentry |

This has been a trend with some of the truly scarce Lie-Nielsen tools over the past couple of years. There's always been high demand for their tools on the secondary market. I think some folks came to realize how scarce some of their tools are. High demand and low supply equates to high prices. The left-handed edge plane you mention is one of those rare ones. The no. 9 mitre plane is another. There won't be any more of them made. The pandemic caused L-N to cut back on their production while demand for their tools was skyrocketing. This caused a short term increase in the prices for some of their tools that are still being made but hard to find. I have a shoot plane here that I waited too long to sell.. They were going for $1k +regularly on eBay. Now that they are back in production the prices are back to normal. Ah well. Josh |
