Tydan blades not fitting into holder

[iceman8310 105]

I’m having an issue of Tydan blades not fitting into 288 edge holder.  There’s a sizable gap between the blades and the holder in the front.  I tried other steel and that was fine.  The steel says 288XL and  the holders are 288

Dumb question perhaps but did you hold one up to that other steel to see where the discrepancy lies?

It lies in the toe.

XL steel is a few mm higher in the front and back, compared to the regular Pulse TI steel, otherwise it is the same. You might want to use a heat gun to lightly warm the holders and try to the XL steel in.

I don't get what you mean by tydan steel. Is this old stock tydan steel or steel you got from Tydan that is bauer. Are you sure you ordered steel that's for Bauer holders.

How could someone mess up ordering correct steel for a holder?

I don't know that's why I asked. Especially bc you said Tydan steel and didn't say a brand since Tydan hasn't made their own steel since Bauer threatened to sue them.
