3.5
The hardness of a material that scratches a knife blade would typically be higher than the hardness of the knife blade itself. This implies that the material is able to physically deform or remove material from the knife blade due to its greater hardness. This property is commonly assessed using the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Yes, it is possible to scratch a copper coin with a knife blade as copper is a relatively soft metal compared to steel. However, the knife blade needs to have a harder material rating in order to scratch the copper.
Minerals that can be scratched with a knife blade but not with a copper coin typically have a hardness between 3.5 and 5 on the Mohs scale. For instance, minerals like calcite (hardness 3) can be scratched by a copper coin but not by a knife blade, while minerals like fluorite (hardness 4) can be scratched by a knife but not by a copper coin. Therefore, minerals like fluorite would fit your criteria.
Most knives have a rockwell hardness of 54-62. this is for metals. minerals are considered ceramics and therefore should have more hardness. It really depends ont he pressure applied. With enogh pressure any knife can scratch any mineral.
Minerals that have a hardness less than that of a knife blade (5.5 on the Mohs scale) can be scratched with a knife. These minerals include gypsum, calcite, and talc.
Yes, a knife can scratch dolomite because dolomite is relatively soft, with a Mohs hardness of around 3.5 to 4. This means it is softer than the steel blade of a knife, which typically has a hardness of around 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
A mineral that will scratch with a window glass but not with a knife blade is a mineral with a hardness between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale, such as orthoclase or peridot.
Do you mean adjustable shoulder harness, used for carrying a knife under a coat, or did you did mean "hardness", which usually refers to the Rockwell Scale that determines how hard or soft the metal of a blade is.
Yes, a knife is typically made from hard materials, such as stainless steel or carbon steel, which provide the necessary hardness for cutting and durability. The hardness of the blade material allows it to maintain a sharp edge and resist wear during use. However, the specific hardness can vary depending on the type of steel and the heat treatment process used in its production.
Dolomite has a hardness of about 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale, which means it can be scratched by materials that are harder, such as a knife blade. Most common knives, made of steel, typically have a hardness greater than 4, so they can scratch dolomite. However, the ease of scratching may depend on the specific type of knife and the condition of both the knife and the dolomite surface.

The hardness of the mineral pyrite, or Fool's Gold, is about 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. That's a little harder than a steel knife blade, but not as hard as the mineral quartz
