0.1 Magnacut

[scott kozub]

I want to make a new chefs knife for myself and a hunter for a friend. I can't find any 0.1" stock anywhere. Does anyone no somewhere that has thinner stock? This stuff is selling fast.

My fallback may be s45vn I've been wanting to try that as well.

The 3/32" is oversized. .110 IIRC.

Watch on Monday mornings from AKS. They usually have thinner stuff but it goes fast. Get on their email list. They usually send out a new stock email at about 6:30am CST on Mondays

Popsknifesupplies has 3/32” bars in stock that are 2” wide by 3’ long.

We had some .100"-.110" MagnaCut earlier this week but it all sold.

All the MagnaCut we sell is flat ground. If you are buying non ground steel, plan on removing .010"-.020" to get it flat.

We add new materials to the website everyday during the week. Yesterday we added .170" MagnaCut, .130" S125V and billets of ultra thin Timascus.

After an extensive website stalking campaign, I managed to get some .093" MagnaCut from AKS a couple weeks ago. I have not seen sub-0.1" MagnaCut there often, so if you do, better pounce.

Thanks for the replies all.

It is surprising how many people have no idea that CPM is hot rolled oversize and requires clean up to hit the nominal thickness.

We added .102" flat ground MagnaCut to the website.

I received my order. I'll be making 3 knives for testing. A 9" S grind chefs knife for myself, a 3" reverse tanto scandi for a friend and a 3" Saber grind skinner for another friend.

For the chefs knife I'm thinking about 64 hrc as I want high edge retention. Probably 0.002" tbe.

For the others I'm aiming for 62.5. But I'm wondering if I should run the skinner a little higher and the scandi a bit lower to avoid chipping. Any suggestions?

I'd also like some input on the optimal bevel angle for the scandi. The user does a lot of carving.
