   Their cutting geometry are identical. The L-N is designed exactly after the Stanley #112. Whats different is the material and craftsmanship. The end results will be the same....

   *For $210 US it is not a bad deal. Since you are getting a new tool. From what I have seen around you will pay around $130 to $180 for a Stanley 112 depending on the condition.Myself I would get the LN.Scott

   *I have the Lie-Nielsen and like it very much for large areas. Still prefer hand scrapers for certain jobs where I need to feel the work. I believe the scraper blade on the LN is thicker. It's a class act.

   *What I hear you folks saying. The Lie-Nielsen 112 does the job as well as the Stanley 112. If one is interested in using older planes then the Stanley is it. But the Neilsen is every bit a good as the Stanley with out the hassle of reconditioning and in some cases less expensive. Thanks for your comments.

   *The LN I would think is much better , since it has the Thicker high quality steel blade...or you could get a hock blade for the stanley
