[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2626962, member: 229"] All of the knives listed in Ankerson's test with a specific RC rating were (I believe) independently Rockwell tested before being used in the cutting test - those with question marks or ranges are going by Manufacturer's specs. I wasn't debating the other strengths and weaknesses of S30V, only that at softer Rockwell ratings, it doesn't hold it's edge for as long and Benchmade tends to run their S30V blades softer than other makers. S30V vs. S30V at two different Rockwell ratings (and the near-identical edge-geometry) is pretty much apples to apples. S30V is still a fine steel and that Benchmade is a great knife, but my point was only to state that if edge-retention is a serious concern, then there is a difference between the various heat treatments.
