Chris, what was the target hardness on the hunter with bolsters? Thanks!

My target hardness was 59-60 range. I have done a lot of my own ht with 01.

The carbon specification for O1 is really wide. Do you find much variation in the heat treat response?

Not really. I have used O1 from several different suppliers and have yet to have any complaints about performance. My larger knives I typically run in a 57-58 Rc and my smaller knives I aim for a 59-60 Rc.
