Does anyone know the typical high end Rockwell rating for 4510 steel? I read in one place that it will only harden soft when compared to others. I'd be happy with anything 50 and over. I know some people roll edges if the edge angle is too narrow. I can fix the angle easily enough with a file and jig.
