Hardness Tester
So I'm reaching a point where I really need to know where I'm at. Yes, I know you can tell if you're getting a hardened blade after HT. But I want to go to a higher level than that. So my question is "Do I really need to invest in a hardness tester"? Do you guys have one? If it's that important I'm willing to spend the money (I hear they're expensive). I sell a knife here and there and I'd like to be able to tell a customer what he's getting. I also want to know if I'm consistently turning out properly heat treated blades. So what do you guys think? Is a tester the way I have to go? If so, what recommendations do you have on what I should get?
