If you read “The fine art of cabinet building” buy James Krenov you will find that was his original recommendation for the krenov style plane. Its how I built this one.

If you look at picture 4 you can see where the blade was cut at about 4” and you can see the cap iron screw groove.

I can post a more detailed picture of the blade if you need it.

EDIT: Should have linked the blog too.
