Are Honma tour athelete blades forged?

This second hand info from the local Honma Dealer....Honmas have not been forged since 19??....its been that long....they however use a very soft metal/soft steel that makes it feel softer than forged....we need a confirmation on this though.

someone needs to buy a set and confirm it... :whistle:

it is true that honma is not forged, but they use an extensive 57 step process ( or something like that) to manufacture their heads and they definitely have created some of the softest feeling heads out on the market today, the metal is also very soft and oliable, it bends very easily in a lie machine and the heads show lots of bag wear after only a few rounds unless headcovers are used !
