Indeed, for people that don't like high carbide steels, Rex 45 is the peak their should strive for. Amazing steel in a high polish edge.

So I have a lockbar from a Maxamet native that lost a fight with a lawnmower. Not my knife but my coworker asked if I wanted the pieces. Wondering if anyone would want to RC test the lockbar. I'm not sure if spyderco changes the steel for different runs. I can ship it to whoever would want to do this. I don't need it back after.

I was curious, does the hardness differentiate between the releases? Say with the REX45 Military/PM2/Para 3 from last year, compared to the knives being released this year?
15 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut

I have a Mantra 2, so naturally, I’m very curious.

Also, Kurt (jcoolg19) on YouTube has done many many tests. I recall that the XHP Manix LW was tested at at or a hair above 61 hrc, but I don’t see it in the list.

Thought it was a good idea to have this info posted in more than one place in the thread in case I accidentally delete something in an edit.

Laminated blades don't give accurate readings, from what I understand. They can't be tested on the flats, since the cladding is covering any testable areas. Testing the exposed core is difficult, if not impossible, due to the angles.
