Where have all the good steel forks gone?

Preferably with a cast or segmented crown
Probably with about 45mm of rake
Not a boat anchor

This would be for commuting and overnights, not a lot of weight to carry but my daily commute sometimes involves 20# or so.

Short of going custom (too $$$), the only solution I'm finding is the Surly Ogre non-suspension corrected fork. But it weighs 3.1#. otherwise it checks the boxes.

Any other forks I should look at? I've look at Soma, Kona, Salsa, Dimension, Origin8, Sunlite, Nashbar, et. al. and the Ogre non-suspension corrected is the best so far but I'm not excited about it.
