Just as a note
My Knight smoother is approx 4" radius on a 1-1/2" wide blade, 1/4" thick.
Hogs the Fritos, but a bit uncomfy in the hand.
My Stanley #40 is approx a 4" radius on a 1-1/4" wide blade. Hogs the
Fritos, more comfy than the Knight.
My LaChappelle horned scrub is approx 3-1/2" radius on a 1-1/4" wide blade.
Not used yet
I have a Pinie.cz b39 scrub, but it has no radius to the blade. Huge
gaping mouth, unlike the 3 45, which is tight. Poor wood finish, hit it
with scotchbrite to smooth it out. No major work yet.
