I don't understand why the steel is being run so soft. Millit may have tested Nitro-V extensively, but if it really cant get it to perform well anywhere above 56HRC then they should stop and think for a second. Gavko runs his Thrashers at 61HRC and I haven't heard of any complaints. RMJ runs his fixies at 59-60 and those are fixed blades. The general consensus in the community is that Nitro-V is a fine grained steel that shines most with a harder HT and slicier geometry. Hopefully Millit will either reconsider their HT or take another look at which steel they choose if they are looking for a tough beater style knife.

jarvis959Corrosion and wear resistance appear to be given priority over hardness. This allows the blade to be used hard over a very long time in challenging circumstances. Extremely hard blade steels are vulnerable to chipping and corrosion which can limit the life of a blade especially with a hollow grind that is thin at the edge. High blade hardness does not necessarily make for a good beater knife if damage limits the useful lifetime of the blade.

m0lluskWear resistance is a property directly related to how hard a blade steel is. If they wanted to design a knife that was tough and corrosion resistance, there's better choices than Nitro-V.
