INFI @ higher RC?

That being said, I think Elmax is the reason we have not seen any more of the CNQ treated INFI.

I wonder if this new HT is similar to the HT for SR101 but for INFI. Differential. Also if the chemical formula for INFI changes then the HT needs to change as well.
 
On the contrary, I am glad if they abandoned the idea of a new heat treatment and left INFI 58-60. Because INFI = indestructible, it is the company name and reputation. I don't even know what to do with a knife with more than 60 hardness units. And I bought the Busse knives precisely because of the reputation of the most durable knives in the world.
And why spoil INFI when there are dozens of steels in the world that are very hard. And what is the point of making INFI more than 60-62, if the thickness of the knives is huge and the thickness near the cutting edge.

Yes, the original SHBM's were all probably 2 points higher in Rc and you could tell in the cutting ability. I had several measured and the average was 61 some 62. When I had the fusion line the Rc averaged 59. Not sure what they are currently, but I think 59 is probably right there. I never measured the E-series so I can't say.

where can i do this check? and how much does it cost? I found a $200 electronic tester on amazon, but I'm not sure about it. And I also found something like files with a hardness of 40,45,50,55,60 and 65 HRC.
