CPM Magnacut

[Flat Rock]

This steel has been around for a couple years now, and I have been using it for a while.
I think that Magnacut just might be the perfect stainless knife steel.
I have tested it both on my Rockwell hardness tester, and in the field, and it has performed admirably.
The stain resistence is amazing, showing NO salt water corrosion in my testing.
edge retention is on par with S45 VN which means incredible.
Toughness is up there with the best of them


It really does do EVERYTHING very well. My Saluda in Magnacut and desert Ironwood

Nice looking knives, the knife steel is only as good as the person that forged, quenched and heat treated it.
That desert ironwood is awesome.
