The Spydercos I had tested in S30V and VG-10 were 59 RC, so I'm guessing given Spyderco's penchant for going for excellent performance from a steel they would heat treat it to a similar hardness, where the steel should be crisp sharpening but not brittle. I'll have to eventually send off my Manix 2 to get tested to see. Most important to me is how it sharpens and holds it's edge. As long as it gets sharp with minimal burring and has good edge retention the RC number doesn't really matter. The way the steel is heat treated to get to it's final hardness is more important than what the final number ends up being , IMO.

Have no idea of the HRC, can only comment that I was very impressed by the way the pilot model I was loaned and allowed to play with held its edge. I began to wonder if I'd ever get a chance to sharpen it.

I like 154CM. Have several Benchmades with it. It holds an edge well enough for me, but the best feature is the very sharp edge you can get on it. It's much like VG10. You can be sure Spyderco will heat treat the steel to bring out it's best qualities.

I totally agree.spyderco does the best production heat treat in the business.:thumbup:
