I am just jumping in here, and I have only skimmed the posts here, but here are my questions/observations:
WRT the 53 Rc blade that was "pitted like the moon"-Did you grind all the scale off before it was Rockwelled at Bell?
The only way to get an accurate RC test is to have flat, parallel scale free surfaces.
