Hock scraper blades

>As near as I can determine without calling Woodcraft, they do not offer the Hock replacement iron for the #12 and #112 scrapers. Not sure if they offer the marking knife blade or not. So I ended up ordering from "The Best Things", as they were considerably less expensive than The Japan Woodworker and even direct from Hock, and hopefully I will be ordering a few nice Japanese chisels for next Christmas from Japan Woodworker. Anyways, my next weekend project should be putting a handle on the marking knife iron from Hock. I am looking forward to a Hock iron for my #603, a scraper blade for my #112, and the marking knife iron.
A lot has been said about making blades for a scraper out of an old saw, and I just kind of decided I would much rather spend a few of my hard earned dollars, boost the economy a bit, and spend my time woodworking with tools that really work well rather than trying to become an expert metal worker when I can buy really good blades from an expert metal worker for about an hours pay. I am expecting some awesome shavings with the ugliest looking #112 plane you ever saw with the best blade available, and will post some pics when I have the shavings ;) Thanks for all of you who had input on the question I asked a while back concerning the Hock irons.
