I know very little about different steel types, but I do know that some hard steel is very brittle with others are far less brittle. I’m sure performance wise some hard steel way outperforms others for knives.
Mr. Mark, I don’t know what the hardness is of the 52100 steel that you use is, but I’ve seen videos of you bending them. Scary to watch but amazing! Those seem virtually unbreakable with any kind of “normal” or even very hard use and the ability of the blades returning to straight after bending was stunning!
I have the feeling that a knife could vary several RHC points over the length of the blade. Is that correct?
