Union 2” ST4 Replacement Iron for other makes No.4 and No.5These 3⁄32” thick replacement irons are made from the same highly consistent American O1 tool steel with military spec heat treatment as the thicker irons for Union planes. At 'just a bit' thicker than most makes standard irons, they will nonetheless fit straight in to almost all makes of iron bench plane including Stanley, Record, Millers Falls, Woden, WS, Preston etc.One nice feature of Union plane irons is that the hole at the end of the slot is at the top, as it is on old British planes, so installing and removing the cap iron all happens away from the edge and it is then slid into place.The faces of the ST4 irons are Blanchard ground which leaves a distinctive curved crisscross pattern on the face of the tool.

Very nicely made plane iron. Flattens quickly and the Blanchard grind is a nice touch! Holds an edge very well and easy to hone once the edge is dressed! Has the chip breaker screw hole at the top of the iron so it makes it easier to attach to the blade without risking contact with the sharp edge. I have used these blades for a few years, now and highly recommended them! I wish they made a few more widths for the larger planes!
