Rockwell Hardness Tester

[TaylorHardness]

Yeah, rules are different here. It's their house, we gotta follow their rules.

Play ball as the kids say

 

[JTR357]

I think he means the actual Google spreadsheet

Okay I don't know how to do that

 

[Armithius]

I can’t add links on here unfortunately. If you can send an email to Taylorhardness @gmail.com I will forward it to you.

Done, thanks

 

[Blues]

Just did. Seems like any and all links related to me will be shot down on here, from what they said earlier

From the site rules:

*The only members who may promote or display their personally built knives, their products, or services in the discussion threads, signature, home page listing or their user profile are "Manufacturers", "Dealers", and "Knifemaker/Craftsman/Service Provider".*

From the site rules:

Okay question then. If it’s someone else referencing my site/page/whatever is that allowed? I obviously am not a member, but what if a member does?

From the site rules:

Understood, thank you.

If you have the proper membership they can link to it.

So glad to see you out here spreading facts! The knife industry has needed independent 3rd party testing, badly!
Now we need 3rd party toughness testing

Calling Noss, where are you?!?!?

For what it’s worth, I do have access to Charpy impact machines at my place of work. I’m just admittedly not a machinist by any stretch. But if anyone had the capability to machine a set of whatever steel charpy they want to see tested and send them my way, I could test them.

I've still yet to get the 3V heat treated and machined to Larrin for testing as he offered for his ISO 148-1 sub size charpy specimens. Otherwise if I wasn't so busy at work I'd do it.

Ahh yah you mentioned that a while back. That’d be an interesting one.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Ahhh okay. I don’t have actual access to the website outside of adding information to the spreadsheet. If people have further questions about data on the website, they can refer to the spreadsheet first.

Yes, on the website. It wouldn’t hurt to have it on the spreadsheet too. If the blade isn’t representative of a particular model (esp. if a one-off or similar), note that clearly.

EDITED

 

[Mecha]

just to be discredited by guys using Google AI and 3 minutes of “research”. It gets tiring, and it’s extremely annoying at times.

Titanium can't make a sword bro. I google'd it.

Welcome! I'll check out the Rockwell data, I'm a cnc programmer/machinist. Our metrology labs have the same equipment and I've used them as well. Cool of you to put together a list of tested hardnesses

Thank you! I’m glad I can offer a cool tidbit of information to the knife community.

Much appreciated (I'm the other tester on the site)

We are good to go here guys. We have ironed out our differences and sorted ourselves out. If you guys and galls have questions related to the testing parameters, I will be free tonight to answer any+all questions you guys may have.

I will be here as well after doing a few things. Just got home from work

 

[Blues]

Well, maybe after the hockey game.
