I kind of wish I'd have kept the iron to see if I could solve it. I talked to Steve for a while on the phone once back then and he was also offering irons from a Japanese maker. He had trouble getting the maker to make the irons long and flat, and the maker, probably not familiar with western planes didn't believe there was a need to make them as requested. The performance of the other irons that Steve offered was a pretty high bat to exceed given how good his o1 irons were. They were a match for a2 in wear and without the chipping. Technically dominant in game theory terms.
