	Hi! Thanks for helping out with the wiki. I'm not sure if HRC is something that should be in the list because unfortunately HRC testing is not really something that's common in the balisong world, so because of that, the HRC column will be mostly empty. Except of course if you have a proper HRC tester and are willing to reliably provide those measurements yourself.
