MKC fails to meet advertised Magnacut hardness?

Interesting data showing 0 out of 5 MKC Magnacut blades tested met their advertised hardness level of 61-63 HRC (the lowest test result here was 58.7). I believe this means the blades would do great at not snapping, but will be more susceptible to edge rolling and will not have their claimed edge retention (one of the key selling points of Magnacut).

I love Rokslide because of the data-backed discussion on what works (scopes, stocks, bullets, suppressors, etc). Not trying to be an MKC hater, they are a cool American company. But this is not a great look for an expensive knife that’s advertised as an heirloom.
