hardness tester help
I as thinking about obtaining a hardness tester to check my blades after heat treat and tempering is complete. Since I make knives more for a hobby, I don't have a big budget. I've sold only 7 knives. (Two more being made right now.) Also I have a small shop, and there isn't much room left, so I was thinking about a hand held tester.
I could use some advice on just about everything regarding these testers, I've never used one before, so simple operation would be useful. Which are the good manufacturers? What do I really need or do I even really need one? Are the hand held testers any good? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
