    I saw a tip in a woodworking magazine where someone attached them to an edge of their sandpaper station for cutting sheets. I imagine they would also be useful for cutting paper over an edge if they're not too dull.

      you could make a basic fixed blade knife out of it.

        He probably saw my post about making a long scraper with a planer knife, and he is going to make and market them.

          I would think they might be useful as knife blades like for hunting knives, etc.

            Mounted on exterior window sills, they might also make great burgler deterrents.

              I was thinking Cabinet Man's scrapers. I don't think they have enough meat on them for knife blades.
              Sometimes the old man passed out and left the am radio on so I got to hear the oldie songs and current event kind of things

                industrial planer knives are much thicker and wider than hobby planers' blades.
