The chip breaker is about .125" thick made of O1 iron and the plane iron is about .1" thick
I didn't sharpen or hone it; it looks and feels sharp out of the box.
I had a test run on some pine (softwood) and it shaves like butter, thin slice some more.
Anyway I need to re tune the frog to adjust for the new iron / chipbreaker set.
I have to try it on IRW 1st will report back the finding on the performance of the new iron.
Here are the pics:
My new plane iron / chipbreaker
The Lee Valley A2 plane iron
The Veritas chipbreaker
(Veritas is same as LV)
The plane and iron
L (the stock blade and chipbreaker)
R (the upgraded LV set)
It is noticeably thicker and feels good also
