I tried a slightly different procedure for my heat treat of this 10V and it gave me about 2 points additional hardness out of quench. This allowed me to leave the hardness higher than I was previously able to. Being a point or a little more harder than I am used to made a huge difference that I could feel when doing the finish grinding. This knife was very resistant my brand new abrasives that usually do not have a problem with high hardness. Not only is this knife thin but it is very hard and will give amazing cutting performance that will put a smile on your face. I filled about 75% of a 90 gallon trash can with 2"x2" cardboard pieces ( about 3 hours of cutting ) and the knife would still cleanly cut printer paper.
