FWIW..Chikara irons/wedges are forged by Kyoei, as are heads for several other companies - including Cooper. Kyoei's house brand is Vega. A UK based, ex Tour Van, wedge specialist (ICGolf from memory, but can't find any links) also uses their 'blanks'.

As for my 'brand count'... Normally 4 (occasionally 3) - Adams Driver, Woods and Hybrids - except for 6h/27* Titleist - Cleveland (occasionally Titleist) wedges, Bettinardi putter(s!!), though often Seemore in Winter.
Yeah they are very good, probably the nicest feeling irons I've had. Do have a soft spot for my old titleist 690.mb irons that I loved but I certainly couldn't be happier with these chikara irons

Mizuno irons 4-SW
Taylormade driver
Fazer putter
Howson 2, 5 and 7 woods. These are old jumble sale finds that rarely get used on the course but the 7 wood is good fun to hit and is a bit like a long hybrid.

I certainly had a similar 'soft spot' for the Vegas I has for some time - quite a while ago when I was swinging a lot better than I am now. Unfortunately, the 4 iron head came off on the first swing of a year some time ago bouncing across the nearly frozen ground and disappeared into the pond/reeds in front/to the right of the 1st tee at Mill Ride! I think the shaft is now propping up a Daphne!

Btw. Adam Scott has gone 'old school' too!

In this era of hybrids, people don't bag as many fairway woods as in the past.
Hybrids were supposed to replace long irons, but in reality, they've replaced lofted woods.
"Jacked lofts" are what actually replaced long irons.

Since I still play multiple fairway woods instead of hybrids, I find that I have to mix brands and models to get the lofts and loft spacings that I want.
That can add to the total of different brands.
