The usual S45 bevel down small smoother with lots of heft, but unusually this one has an aluminium cap. One can only just detect a weight reduction  when compared with an S45 with bronze cap. I will make the normal brass or bronze cap for this one and supply it with both, as I will modify the aluminium one to enable the blade to be  used bevel up resulting in a scraping cut. The wood is Imbuia from Brazil.
