I’ve stayed with #418 and #422 because they share the same blade and one of my original GG-Pappy’s hand me downs is a #418. I now have enough hand planes to be considered basically complete, at least for my needs, and I find them very useful (and yes I use them).

Hand planes in general can be very addictive so I am trying to avoid collecting for collecting sake. Got enough nick knacks from other interests already (beer steins, Harley crap, vintage 1972 4-Channel Sansui electronics, etc.). At some point I just need to thin the heard and focus on the most ‘fun’ stuff, what ever that may be.
