Moderators sometimes do that, mostly it's to delete personal attack type post, anyway, enough of that. Those guys over there were trying to tell you something, and that is....
The issue for me is the high hardness numbers that you are getting... the maximum hardness for 1095 as I've already posted is around 66 Rc, that's physically it!.... and that's surface hardness in the as quenched state. no tempering at all... and it will be glass hard, a file will skate off it without leaving a scratch. It's not able to be filed until you get down to maybe mid 50's, that's not just my opinion, that's just 1095 steel.
When you report results of 62,60,62,59,64 hardness for saw plate, there is something wrong with the methods you are using.
A simple test is to see if you can actually file that super hard saw, if it can be filed, then the hardness test must be wrong.
