Does anyone know the approximate hardness of Spyderco's version of M390? I picked up a sprint run of the Para 3 LW with M390 but can't find any literature on its HRC value and am just a bit curious.

Thanks!
 
As with basically every modern production knife, it will vary quite a bit from knife to knife. The one mentioned above was tested at 60 HRC, but two PM2s were tested recently at 62ish. Other knives in M390 have tested in the 59-60 range. Spyderco might target a little higher hardness range than most other OEMs, but it is impossible to say for certain how your individual knife will be without testing it.
