Okay . Before final grinding and tempering the blade spine is covered with clay in a pattern approximately 1/2 way down blade , leaving the edge bare. The blade is quenched in oil and the clay keeps the covered portion from hardening. Then the blade is tempered 400-500 degrees depending on metal. The backs are fileable so I believe they are 50ish RHC.
