I didn't save the URL on this S90V hardness info, but here is the quote:

Ok, so I finally took the time to test my new Mule and my Military 2nd that I have on hand. All these are averages of 3 tests. The calibration just before was an average of 56.1 on a 56.4 HRC test block. Since that's within tolerances, the numbers below are straight reporting, no adjustment in numbers due to the calibration error.

Mule - 59.2 HRC
Military - 58.8 HRC

Keep in mind some of the earlier comments about accuracy of calibration blocks and of the test itself and you'll see that this is right where it needs to be.

Sounds pretty good. I'll update you on how my Manix 2 turns out. My guess is right in the same range, but we'll see.

After lots of denting the knife it is 58/59 RC. There was a low reading of 56, but it appears it was a "flyer" reading that really must not be valid due to all of the other readings being 58, 58.5, or 59. You can read about lots of detail on that in the Spyderco sub forum.
