I have a set of Veritas metric blades, of which the ones I use most are the 5mm and 6mm (and a very old ½”). But the smaller ones are excellent for cutting very shallow and precise shapes, as their narrow entry means that they require very little force to cut, and there’s less chance of accidentally overshooting a border line.
I have a 1/16 and 1/8 that I use for cutting grooves for inlay. I have the 1/4, the 1/2 and the spear point that came with the plane. I mostly use the 1/2 inch for joinery.
