Blade Hardness

I checked the blade hardness on several of my knives on an industrial hardness tester. Here are the results. Each blade was checked twice (3 times on the LCC) to verify the readings. The knives had to be dis-assembled and the hardness was checked near the pivots of each blade, so when the knives were reassembled, the dimples formed by checking the hardness wouldn't be visible.
