After getting my Spydercos Rockwell tested there was no doubt they are top notch at heat treating. Very consistent, and CPM D2 was 62 RC (this explains to me why CPM D2 has outperformed S30V by a good margin), CPM M4 at 62.5 RC (the tremendous performance of the Mules is already well established), and VG-10 and S30V both right at 59 RC, not to mention ZDP 189 at a nice 64.5 RC (my second favorite steel to CPM M4, just wonderful stuff I can't get enough of). You don't have to down other companies to acknowledge the Spyderco is about as good as it gets in the production knife world for consistent high performance heat treating.
