Stainless Steel Blades/Irons

[colu41]

I'm looking for a set of solid stainless steel blades/irons. I know they're not super common but they are out there. I just can't seem to find much info. Looking for a set to restore. I've done a set of Acushnet 108s. I see that some of the Taylormade Tour Preferred are stainless also. Just looking to see if someone out there could compile a list that I could look at! TIA!

Good luck finding list.🙃  It's nice to dream, though.

 

I seem to recall that Kenneth Smith forged blade heads out of stainless steel.  Not sure what alloy, though.  

 

There are some component blades, too.  Made from soft 18-8, I think.

I had a set of 1998 Titleist 962B irons and they were SS.

Similarly, I think the Titleist 990s were 431 stainless steel.

These were my first thought, Handmade Stix blades from Larry Bobka.  431 stainless.

 

There are also a couple clubheads from Alpha. 

 

And, there's the Bang Tour Tools sets, 304 stainless.

Look for Titleist 735.CM in the stainless version.

Alpha made a set of blades out of 304 stainless.

Now these look right up my alley! Thanks. Now to find a decently priced set 🤔

I believe some of the old Powerbilt blades were forged stainless

I'm really hooked on those Titleist 735 CMs. Just a sweet combo set that I never really knew about. Would definitely be a nice set to restore, and even game! Been looking all afternoon for a decent priced set that aren't the chromed carbon 🤣
