They are japanese. I‘ve heard they are the best iron any golfer can buy. Any miura iron user right here?
Miura irons is forged in Japan so the cost of production is high. Miura doesn't offer technologies and more distances like other golf OEMs. What makes them good is the quality of the heads. The tolerance is so small. If the specs say it's 27 degree, then it's 27 degree. Also better players might like them because they look very classic. Thin topline with very good looking view at address. BTW they are not the most expensive golf clubs from Japan. There are other more expensive clubs like Honma, Epon and Maruman.
Here's a quote from Tom Wishon: There’s no better proof of the way a myth can so illogically weave itself into the brain of a golfer than in a comment I received from a golfer swearing that a Japanese made forged iron head was superior because “the Japanese know how to make better steel because the steel used to make the Samarai swords in the 19th century was so superior.” OK, uh, right. If that sort of “logic” is relatable to iron head production, then in reality the best forged iron heads should be coming from Syria since Damascus steel was considered to be a remarkable alloy for its time. Uniformity of the chemical composition of metal alloys has been in existence around the world for many years. The chemical composition of the 1020 and 1030 carbon steel alloys most typically used in the production of forged carbon steel irons is the same whether produced under the JIS standards in Japan, the AISI standards in the USA, the BS standards in Great Britain and so on around the world. The ranges in element composition seen in the above tables are insignificant to the performance of the product being made from the steel and simply reflect the acceptable ranges in content approved by the standards within each country that manufactures these carbon steel alloys. In the end, what makes a “better” forged iron falls into the combined categories of CG position, weight distribution, sole design and how well they with the 12 key fitting specs for the whole club are matched to the golfer’s size, strength, athletic ability and swing characteristics. The link will show the metal compositions, as well as 15 more myths.
