what is the rockwell hardness of the blade?

I honestly dont know what the hardness of the blade is, due to the fact that the blades are not of a high quality these details are often not given with the product. However if you want a rough estimate on how hard the blade material is from my experience with them they loose their edge quickly while cutting boxes and its not very easy to get a sharp edge on them like on my ANSA knife. I would say that its the same as the hardness on regular 440 stainless steel nothing special here.

According to the owner's manual it is 3.2 degrees. This and other information can be found on the www.rockwelltools.com website.I highly recommend it

Mine says 4138 SS on the blade, which I assume means it is stainless steel. Mine is easy to sharpen on a stone though, and holds a pretty sharp edge. Great utility knife, I have even skinned a few rabbits and squirrels it.

The cutting edge is a modified Scandinavian Grind, which is very effective for carving, skinning and other general woods work. With a rockwell hardness of 56-58, the ease of sharpening is astounding.

Yep, definitely get the GK or GKP if you can afford it. Either is far superior to any of Cold Steel's stamped metal blades, like the RK. Sure the less expensive blades have the protective coating, but once it wears off through sharpening and use, it is just as susceptible to corrosion if not more so. The GK and GKP are monster blades, light and durable, and if properly maintained either will outlive you.

I am not at home to correctly answer question. I believe it is Oregon #16. I will check, but you have to give me 40 hrs I am out of state. I have had no problems sharpening. It is a good saw!

For the H1 steel the seratted edge is much harder. Call up spyderco and ask them if you like. It will stay sharper longer, and is one of the hardest edges they make. The plain edge is much softer as the machining of the serrations increase the Rockwell hardness. With that said this knife is excellent size and the serrations are great for cutting through thick materiel such as rope, hard plastic tough corrugated boxes. I own many knives and keep them all very sharp. No plain edge will cut as well for harder materials as a serrated. That said the serrated wont slice as cleanly but, its such a small blade I would only get the serrated version and leave a plane edge to a large blade.

It is 65Mn. With a Rockwell of around 58-60 I think (but I am not sure on the latter. Anyway the blade is darn good for the price. I have used the heck out of mine for heavy woodcraft when camping and hunting and it stands up very well. Maybe not the best blade on the market--but it may be the best (or at least in the top 3) at this price point. It will do the job as well or better than some blades that are far more expensive.

It is a circular saw. If you mean the Makita blades, they do not support the high speed of the Rockwell and make shatter.

I bought this a month or so ago. The only stamp on the blade is "China", and there was nothing on the package stating what it is. I'm going to make a guess and say either stainless or spring steel. It keeps an edge pretty good & feels nice in your hand.

The blade is made with 8Cr13MoV steel which seems to hold an edge just fine. However, I am one of those guys who wants a "scalpel like edge" on my blade and I hone it once a week - so it has never gone without attention.

.059 is the kerf as close as I can determine, I have no real way to measure the blade. Hope this helps you. Freud can help you, I am sure.

The blade is made of A2 steel. See description link:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002B56CUO?ie=UTF8

Hello, The blade is made of 1045 high carbon steel. The blade is not sharp enough for use but the tip is sharp so be cautious. It's definitely a great showpiece.

It's 1050 or 1055 high carbon steel. Lightweight thin blade. Pretty strong though, I've chopped with as hard as I could on some old, dry, hardened dead wood and thrown 50-100 times, all after normal use clearing brush (5-6 times at least) and it's holding up well. With the exception of some light chipping/damage initially (sometimes bits of the hardened edge chip off initially) it's held up well. Fun to throw, might destroy the handle eventually but the blade is undamaged from the throws SO, IN SUMMARY IF I HAVEN'T BROKEN IT YET, IT'S A GOOD CARBON STEEL ALLOY.

See reviews, I return 2 of them: (1) blade not 90 degree/cannot adjust as stops near 88-89 and (2) return was miter slot off 1/4inch parallel to blade. Think Rockwell is not fixing and sending out same crap for some sucker to buy. As for fence, I don't think so but never got that far as I returned them both. Good luck
