If you in UK a New Stanley 2″ iron just over £8 it would be more than adequate for scrub plane quite a bit cheaper than a Hock blade. I’m sure in the USA would find a cheap new Stanley 2″ iron.

I bought a New 2 3/8″ Stanley iron for my Stanley 4 1/2 works perfectly fine and takes a decent enough edge for use as a smoother.
If you really want to use a thicker iron probably cheaper than Hock or Ilse try Quangsheng irons from Workshop heaven in UK. I believe May be called Woodriver over the other side of the pond.
Sometimes the Y lever dose not move iron as it is to short if using a thicker iron Workshop heaven supply longer Y levers.
