Anyone else sick of Magnacut already…

Show us on the graph where the naughty scary steel touched you.

I do think it's funny that nobody cares about NitroV anymore. Compared to Magnacut, that is. Shows you how irrational all this is. Then again, I shouldn't trow stones in a glass house

You people with all your science and pictures and charts. Where is the soul?

It died on Christmas day 2006 (RIP James Brown, the Godfather of Soul).

As for Magnacut, my opinion is to use it (or not) as your priorities, uses, and budget dictate. Like the saying goes, you do you.

If you are buying folders from specific companies and are frustrated about what they offer, or what they charge, that is a separate issue. The steel itself is great. I can't imagine using anything else for kitchen knives right now. The first time I sharpened it I was amazed at the edge it took.
I can buy a 2" x 3' x 3/32" piece for $110. That's enough for 6 large knives, so less than $20 in steel per knife.
I made three sets of cimiter and boning knives from one piece of stock.


I recently made a different set from the same material.

Very happy with Magnacut.

Magna what? Oh I remember using those mufflers back in the 90's never knew they were fancy steel.

Magnacut is the best all-round steel I've found so far. It's amazingly easy to hone (on diamond), takes a very fine edge and is very tough, as well as stainless. Doesn't get much better than that IMHO.

2 feet by 3 feet for $110?

That would be a great deal. 2", I fixed my post.

You did say they were Big knives....

I remember back before WWI when guys were constantly commenting to the effect that so and so steel was "even better than AUS 8, which isn't bad." Does anyone else remember that?

 

[Larrin]

Everyone in Westeros knew immediately what Valyrian steel was the moment they slid a sword mere inches from a sheath!

So, it's possible that someone could Identify a steel just by looking at it!

I wonder if Larrin is from there?

Nevada is in the west, so maybe it is close to Westeros.

 

[argyle1812]

Way less sick of it than m390 that's for sure

I’m sick of the “sick of MagnaCut” discussions

Haters gonna propagate HateWatch!

Thanks again Richard! Awesome Magnacut kitchen knife!

So you are where what is west of Westeros!

I want to try it, but it’s very expensive. Too expensive right now, especially compared to S35-VN and Elmax.

And I’ll wait some time to see if the manufacturers can get the heat treatment consistently correct. Too many reports of corrosion problems, and that tells me that some manufacturers are screwing something up.

Do you mean that one Guy that's single handedly going to bring NSM, Peters, and Crucible to their knees over decarb issues? Not sure he makes enough knives to know what he's talking about.

Ugh so over it being on EVERY damn knife.

Companies’ charging more for it like it so spesh when it doesn’t even hold an edge like S45.

Even bloody CRK, who should only be allowed to use steels that Chris had a hand in designing, are using magnacut.

Made the knife landscape so damn bland (in addition to every knife being a made in China ti flipper meow). I want variety dammit.

Yeah... it's time for Dr. Larrin to come up with a superior steel already so that we can nerd over that!

 

[DMG]

I really like steels like M4 and 3V. Magnacut seems like stainless M4 or 3V, to me.

 

[marrenmiller]

I'm not sick of it.

In fact, after years of being gaslit by the knife community that M390 is the best steel ever, and that it's a super tough steel that's totally a great choice for everything including rough use, I'm happy to finally see the community fawn over a steel that focuses on edge stability and that is better in actual use. This is steel snobbery I can get behind.
