Sal,

I was rummaging through the Spyderco archives, and I noticed that the Native lock (440v) was rated at 500 in/lb. and was rated as" Safe for hard use". Take 500 and divide by 3 and you get around 166 in/lbs. The Native lock now is rated at 90 in/lbs. Does that mean that the new Native's lock is not rated as highly as the older one or is my math fuzzy?

On a tangent, what's the Rockwell hardness on the s30v Native? Looking at different websites, I get ranges from 56 to 57 or 58 to 59 Rc. Thanks.
