the issue is the word "Should", which implies anything else is wrong. most steels have a hardness range that is also high toughness. also look at where the knife came from. harder steel is harder to grind, so most commercial knives have lower hardness numbers so they are cheaper to make. in a hand made knife, the hardness is selected for best performance rather than easiest to make. look here http://www.epicedge.com/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=855&cat=Materials, most list hardness. then google the blade type and go look at others.where is a good place to find info on how hard different kinds of knives should be?
