Based on original review video I've uploaded recently, I've made the modifications to make the plane more usable.
The second plane kit I've just purchased already includes the blade locking knob. I performed this mod to my original plane as well as sanded off the paint that rubbed off onto the wood surface.
I'm not saying these planes are at the same level as the original Woodpeckers version but I do think these import versions are well worth the price, especially if you take some time to make some changes.
