Typo on the HRC 50? Should Total Roll be 191?
Holy crap! It looks like sharpening is the great equalizer. The lack of deviation between HRC hardness roll resistance is amazing. Are you sure the old PT50A isn't stuck?
This is not the first time SET testing showed commonly used in knives higher hardness steel is not really more roll resistant than commonly used less hard and less chip prone softer steel. Other than that, and some other apparently obvious conclusions, what else can we infer here?
Hardening is only skin deep?
The process of sharpening de-tempers the edge?
Or could it be that considering the thinness of an edge, and because it is so thin and structurally weak the hardness difference between HRC 50 and 62 is more or less irrelevant? Like you can't support a car on an uncooked egg. It will crush the egg. Two eggs would be twice as strong, but that difference would be irrelevant.
