Besides forged, what other wedges are easy to stamp?

Any Vokey or Cleveland wedge is soft enough to stamp. The Vokeys are cast and the Clevelands before the 588 line were cast and both stamped with little issue.

Are the new 588 RTX & CB cast?
 
I found some stamps in my garage (previous owner or the people before them left all sorts of stuff) and also ordered a special stamp from Amazon yesterday. I will give my wedges some serious stamping soon.
 
I think I'm going to bite the bullet and make an attempt at stamping the 50* wedge after classes end today around 4 or 4:30.
 
I'm going out on Thursday to get some stamps and a vise. I have a forged 52* Snake Eyes that has very little value to will be good to practice on.
 
It's not hard at all. Guys, the key is confidence. If you don't do it and hit it hard without hesitation you're probably gonna screw it up. I'd definitely practice on an old wedge first, but once you get it, you've got it.

Just tried doing my initials in my 50* 588. Needless to say I won't be attempting any more stamping.

Oh man, that's a tough break... Did you just miss on the second hit?

No, that was a multitude. Tried to save the first mirror. The stamp just didn't dig in enough when I lined it up for the 2nd hit and it slipped out.

Just gave it a go. Didn't have a spare forged wedge.
