Tagger, I think you'll have even better control with the flat shave for all but sharp inside curves. The blades should be interchangable. You might want to try switching back and forth until you can sharpen the old blade. You've also picked a good plug (the Big-O) to copy. I took a #40 on that same plug this fall. My best fish in years. I lost the plug a day later (it fell out of my bag........ouch) and replacing it is one of the reasons I started fooling with hand-shaped stuff this winter.
