For auction is one, vintage #4 with Ray Iles blade. Iles is the last blade maker to forge and grind irons with a slightly concave back. The blade is extra thick at 0.115", takes a crisp edge, and lasts a long time. Sweet steel.
In terms of modifications, I have not enlarged the mouth at all, BUT I did weld a small tab onto... the yoke. The reason being that when you fit a thicker, aftermarket iron, the yoke is too shallow to advance the blade past a certain point. This modification remedies that issue and allows for full engagement with the cap iron.
The blade is lapped and sharpened & sole has been flattened. This is a user ready for service.
