What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
Re: What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
The Maintainable LW MagnaManix would be would be worth standing in line for!
I’ll bet it sits in Sal’s pocket looking to for things to cut.
Come on Sal, tell us about cutting and sharpening your mule.

This makes me wonder if there will be different heat treating options for different models.RamZar wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 2:52 amObviously, the first MagnaCut has to be a Mule Team run of several thousand!
After that, Native5 & Military.
Hats off to Larrin for coming up with the theory and seeing it through to an actual steel (read the full article). I’m most surprised by its corrosion resistance beating 20CV — a tool steel with excellent corrosion resistance — what more can one ask for! Hope you get your just rewards.
Hats off to Spyderco for buying a bunch of MagnaCut.

Mr. Sal,
Please....for the love of all that is a Solid, Well built knife......Tell me this Manix doesn't have FRN scales on it!!! :D
Re: What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
Hi Chuck,
It's a Blurple G-10. But it's just a one off that was made for me to test the steel in use.

And Larrin, Please make sure we your optimal heat treat. It will be Eric's call on models. We did order quite a bit of steel. For me, I think a Para 2 or 3 and a Shaman.

+1 for a shaman magnacut!!

Re: What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
Seeing that the Magna Cut in customs is going for $4k to $6k I gotta pass.
Sorry but there is no knife I am wiling to spend more than $500 on.
If Magna Cut makes it into more mid tech production knives I will consider buying one.

Re: What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
I believe this is due to the steel being fairly new and unavailable for mass production. Some knifemakers got their hand on a bits of Magna Cut and they take advantage of the situation on the market. Once the steel is mass produced and there's enough for the knifemaking companies and the custom makers the "exclusivity" factor will be gone and the prices will go down to a normal level.
Re: What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
I hope so Vanka. I do really like this steel Larrin has had made and trust in his judgement very much. And have a ton of respect for the man. And the knowledge of steel traits he shares with the public has taught me very much. I just don't have the money or credit to collect knives that cost over $500.vanka wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:25 amI believe this is due to the steel being fairly new and unavailable for mass production.

Re: What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
I came here to say this. A screw-construction Manix 2 LW is IMO the platform that would best showcut MagnaCut's well-rounded performance profile, since it is, in many ways, Spyderco's most form-follows-function dedicated cutting tool in a pocket folder.

Re: What Will Be The First Magnacut Model?
Just how different they are while MagnaCut can achieve high levels as both a tool steel and a very corrossion resistant steel. It makes it more clear when you have them side by side. I've been more apt to use M390/20CV/204P but MagnaCut is very enticing once we see implementations from Spyderco and pricing.

I wouldn't mind a second PM2, with MagnaCut.
