If you do need a new blade I suggest getting a Hock blade from Ron Hock:

$47 for a blade? Crummy Baileys with sound blades go for $5 at garage
sales.
Is the Hock blade all that much better?


Stanley "Sweetheart" cutters, the ones with the heart-shaped emblem
are prized. They were laminated, the cutters were low-carbon steel
with a thin layer of high carbon steel below the holes. That means
when honing them, most of the metal being removed is the softer
material so they hone faster.

The Hock blades are thicker, which should make them more resistant
to chatter, but a well-tuned older (WWII or earlier) Stanley/Bailley
with a sweetheart blade won't chatter anyhow.
