Gayle Bradley only says Taiwan?

Both Sal and Mr. Bradley posted shortly after the GB first hit the streets that they had separately tested these and gotten results in the 64-65Rc range.

Is that for the first run JN? Or does that include the ones in production these days?

It was very shortly after they first hit the streets, so it definitely applies to the first part of the first run but there's really no way AFAIK to say whether there was a change after that or not. There was, though, a series of threads last year (I think it was last year) about poor edge performance in GBs that gave rise to speculation that the HT had changed. Short answer...I don't think anyone here knows, or if they do they aren't saying.

Nah, I don't really think M4 at 62 is a slouch. I saw those threads too and I'm not saying anything to keep the footprints shiny(at least some of the time for me). :D
