I noticed that the Rc hardness listed on the Spyderco site for these knives in VG-10 is...

58-59 for the Calypso Jr. L.W.

59-60 for the Moran, and

60-62 for the Navigator.

What is the reason for the different hardness ranges?

Thanks!

I presume it has to do with the steel treatment. Perhaps there are different ways of quenching or even cryogenizing the blades.
 
The error is in the printing and not in the hardness.

optimal working hardness for VG-10 will normally be in the 59/60 range.

Thx Sal,

I was inclined to believe that it was differently treated to fit specific needs. But seems it was not like that.

Thanks.
 
I thought maybe you decided on different heat treatments for the different point styles or something. Thanks for clearing things up.
