   Hock's are widely used as replacement blades, and are very good quality.  They'll require a bit more work to flatten and sharpen than the one's from Lie Nielsen, but are still an excellent choice.

   Don't know anything about the source you mentioned.  If shipping is free, who cares, buy em'>

   I bought my Two Cherries chisels and a L-N replacement iron for my #7s/#6C form Craftsman Studio. Best prices I had found and no problems at all with the transaction.

   Make sure to specify that the iron/chipbreaker are replacements. You may still need to modify the mouth for best fit but it will be better than the original. Keep the old ones as spares and when rough planing softwoods or when you aren't sure the wood is clean.
