Telebrineller portable hardness tester. I don’t know a thing about it. I’d rather someone pick up please. I could ship on your dime if you are willing to wait as I am extremely busy in the shop. $125.00

That would be very helpful to me for testing the hardness of my blades! I'd definitely be willing to wait, as I've pretty much been waiting till I have enough money to purchase a hardness tester. Currently I just use some sharpened peices of metal that are hardened to specific levels and see if they can cut into the edges of my hardened knife blades.

Something like this work?
 
That's similar to what I currently use, only I have testers as hard as 58, 60, 62, and 64 rc which requires a bit of inaccurate prediction when one doesn't cut into the edge and the next barely does or easily does.
