Hardness of the Mule Team knife

Post by Bruceter »

Does anyone know the hardness of the Mule Team knife?

I thought I had seen a Rc value on the 52100 but I can't seem to find it.

TIA

That's what I remember seeing too, but it's too short to search for.

"Oil quenched and drawn to Rc 62, it is a difficult steel to heat treat. A very fine molecular structure permits very sharp edges, even at thin angles. Toughness is good, corrosion resistance isn't. It is not a stainless steel and will have to be cared for."
