Quality
I am very happy with the plane.
I used piece of glass and quality 120 grit sand paper followed by 220 grit.
I didn't do any finicking with the body either.
It's top shelf quality, from the milling of the block to the content of the steel.
Price
Price is cheap, for one thing and it has the basis for being an excellent plane.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging was very well packaged and i had no issues with damage.
great little plane right out of the packaging.
Planes nice and thin sheets and they even included a little folded crane in the packaging.
Its sharp enough right out of the box to trim mahogany, cherry, and osage orange in one go!
Competitiveness
This is a nice budget plane that would make a nice addition to anyone’s collection.
The 1k king followed by 3-8k naniwa water stones.

The price point is ok but understand this plane will require about 90 to 120 minutes of setup before it's usable at any level of usefulness.

Because of this effort, i can't give this a 5th star.

This should not affect your finish.

The foot is all set out of the box but the cutout (a part you cannot modify) is a little crooked.
