Hock irons have long been prized for their excellent hardness, rigidity and edge retention.They’re made from ultra fine-grained high carbon tool steel, which takes a sharper edge than alloys like chrome-vanadium steel or HSS.

This blade fit Stanley #40 Scrub planes (and other Scrub planes of the same pattern).

High Carbon irons are fully hardened and tempered to Rc62 on the Rockwell scale, much harder than ordinary tools but not in the least brittle or delicate.
