Lie-Nielsen Hand Planes

Lie-Nielsen Hand Planes, crafted in Warren, Maine USA since 1981, are among the finest planes made in the world today. Lie-Nielsen's collection of bench planes, arguably the most beautiful ever made, is the most complete currently in production. Lie-Nielsen also makes the largest collection of block planes, low-angle planes and specialty planes available in more than sixty years.

Whether the plane body is Manganese Bronze or Nodular Ductile Iron, the machining and final finish of a Lie-Nielsen plane creates a exquisite, full-functioning right out of the box. The plane irons are extra thick, made from cryogenically treated A2 steel tempered to Rc 60-62. The blades cut beautifully and hold their edge well. Handles and knobs are finished cherry and lever caps are polished bronze. If you are a Lie-Nielsen enthusiast be sure to follow our Hand Plane Fundamentals Series by Lee Laird of Lie Nielsen.
