Re: "hard use"
To find the limits, you sometimes have to break stuff... :) I treat all my knives as if I want them to be used tomorrow. If I have to baton, i use a folding saw and any small axe. If I have to work in the sea, I use a Salt, or a Whale Blade. If I have to cut rope, I use a serrated blade. ( or a Serr...

Re: It's All About The Heat Treat
For those that say a file that slides on the HTed blade is the test... One question...What hardness is the file? :) In my HT experiments, I tested a bunch of files to see the HRC.

Re: Dark Blue G10 Turning Black
G10 is color straight through.
I have had blue G10 darken, but a wash in a degreaser and then hot soapy water should revive it.
