Mine bent the head from tightening up, chopping mortises, and it never seemed to hold real tight the disconnecting on it. I didn’t have any trouble with it, but I did have to change the half not twice. I finally took it off, because it just kind of quit working for me, I wasn’t too happy with it. I did like the width of the jaw openings on it though. Miss that.

Not to be stuffy but the sweetheart irons are of better quality than the handyman blades. And a couple other makers blades also vary. Some is abuse some is steel makeup. If buying a new one, i bought a veritas blade for one, the 01 standard, not the thick one, and really like it. Holds a good edge and sharpens up nicely.
I also got a used sweetheart for an old 5&1/2 that the temper was screwed up because of grinding.24 September 2023 at 1:37 pm #814268Can you Take a picture so all are on the same page with an answer for you?

See the short blade on the carvers. That’s the difference.
