[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 4309781, member: 14057"] those hardness call outs are Rockwell hardness. B scale on one and C scale on the other. C scale is for harder materials. Most good quality knives will be around 60 HRC. I will see if I can find the chart but best I recall 100 on the B scale is about 22 on a C scale. So that 55 C scale is going to be twice as durable as the 95 on the B acale. And MM is correct. 316 is not generally used for any kind of cutting steel. [/QUOTE]
