Webicons Report post Posted January 28, 2021 I purchased a new blade for my American Splitter from Pilgrim Shoe. Beautiful blade, scary sharp and ready to use out of the box. Not sure if those folks are still around though. Anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ely has made several, so I’ll trust his judgement! He was able to contact someone who has this splitter and get measurements from her! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) So you had no blade at all? I though you had one which was just bad or so... important is that you found a reliable source and even better who even has access to an original blade. However when I look up planer knife maker / industrial blade maker (for what ever purpose) I easily find a bunch of them but of course depends on your market but I´m sure you have several industrial blade maker in the US as well.
