Well, the #46 is skewed; so, it’s not easy to recommend something else like it that’s readily available. And, it’s a blessing perhaps that you didn’t get it with only having the one blade. Buying blades for that plane can be quite pricey.

OTOH, I’m a happy #45 user. A GOOD one with blades will set you back about $200. However, I tried my friend’s new LV small plow plane and it’s awesome—but more expensive. And, it’s idiot proof!!!! Unlike the #45 which can be tricky to set up. I’d strongly urge you to consider the LV on this one.
