No need to justify buying a new toy. If it brings you joy, it’s worth every cent.

Very nice.  Would be really interesting to do a follow up in a couple of months once you’ve used it for a while and also sharpened it a number of times yourself - interested in whether the blade is unique or whether it is down to sharpening kit and technique to give the main difference.

Looks like a really nice game changer!

Good for you. Nice to treat yourself to quality and as you say, that will last you many many years of joy. Additionally, the cost is relative to what is important to you compared to other possible expenditures. Well worth it! Hope you enjoy.

Nice to meet you. I'm from Japan.
I also bought the Quangsheng Luban No. 5.
I found out that Zen Wu is not compatible with the Luban.
Thanks for the information.

I thought Woodriver and Quangsheng were the same product with different names.  My woodriver 5 1/2 has a very high quality plane blade and chip breaker

Not to in anyway argue with you but in my limited experience, the Lie-Nielsen planes also come to you ready to use. Backs flattened and sharpened and no issue with going right to work. Just an add to your feedback. Thanks.
