• Its design positions the blade edge at the absolute front of the tool, letting the user cut crisp, flush rabbet joints directly into corners.
• An absolute investment-grade \"time capsule\" specimen that has remained tucked away safely in its box for over 75 years. It is perfectly suited for top-tier tool collections, high-end display cases, or a purist woodworker looking for an untouched vintage user
