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

High Carbon irons are O-1 Tool Steel fully hardened and tempered to Rc62 on the Rockwell scale, much harder than ordinary tools but not in the least brittle or delicate. For the ultimate in durability, Hock's Cryogenically Treated A2 Tool Steel irons are significantly tougher and more wear resistant than even their own high carbon blades. "Cryo" irons, conditioned at -320°F, will hold an edge longer than you've ever experienced. They&re a little harder to sharpen, of course, but the results are simply amazing.
