Managed to get some cheap 2nd hand wedges from eBay. Faces look ok but one of them is out by a couple of degrees from what I'd like. What's the maximum you can bend a forged vokey?

Didn't think vokey were forged. I would guess a about 2 deg for cast standard vokey wedges though.

I just assumed they would be forged as they do feel quite soft

Vokey makes cast wedges in general I believe but u should be to get some bend in them.

Vokeys are cast (relatively soft steel though), should be able to get 3 degrees out of them (not that you would want to as it messes with the bounce/leading edge)

Yes, Vokeys are cast from the same metal as used for forged clubs and, as stated above, the bounce increases by the same amount as the loft & vice versa.
Vokeys are cast as others have stated. Adding loft will increase bounce (as someone else said) and taking it away will decrease bounce.
I think they can only be bent a fraction due to the casting, which makes the metal more brittle as i understand it

I had one bent from 50 to 52 without any issues and the pro was very happy to do this for me. Need to watch the impact on bounce to make sure that is still OK
