I want to make something like a stanley 112 scraper plane, My plan is to buy a replacement blade from veritas of Lie Nielson. Heres my question, Veritas has a thinner high carbon steel that comes standard on the plane and an optional 1/8th" A2 tool steel blade. The A2 blade is about 2x the price of the High carbon blade. Lie Nielsen's blade is 1/8th" A2 tool steel. Is the A2 is the "better" blade. Any thoughts about the blade thickness and A2 s high carbon steel, and anything in general about scrapers?
