Most woodworkers complain that the stones and diamond plates used to sharpen their planes simply are not long enough to get a good stroke. Well—problem solved. These hones are oversized (and they cost less than my competitors), they are a full 8″ long by 2.75″ wide, made of hefty 1/4″ thick steel. Compare these to other face plates that are 6″ long and 2″ wide.
