Happy New Year! I finally have a few Magnacut blades to offer so let's get right to it. First, if you're unfamiliar with Magnacut, this is a new steel that was developed with the help of Larrin Thomas and Crucible. You can read the article on his website www.knifesteelnerds.com.
Basically, it is an extremely stainless steel that has a very very fine carbide structure that is still able to achieve high hardness levels. Because of the fine carbide structure, it retains the toughness of a tool steel like CPM 4V while having wear resistance similar to CPMS30V or S35VN. It is a leap forward in knife steel technology, and while it is hard to source (especially in thin stock), I plan on using it as much as possible. The heat treatment included a "pre-quench", soak at 2050°F for 20 minutes, chilled plate/forced air quench, "cryo" quench, and triple tempers for a final hardness of ~62HRC. The geometry on all 3 knives features a full flat grind terminating in a thin edge for easy cutting ability and easy sharpening.
For the low alloy fans, don't worry! I still have a bit of Cru Forge V and 1.2562 "Ultra Blue" to use up, and later in 2022 I am REALLY looking forward to Larrin's latest steel, "Apex Ultra". This is going to be a Tungsten alloyed high carbon steel similar to Ultra Blue, Super Blue, F2, etc, but upgraded!

If you are interested in any of my knives, just post "I'll take it" in the comments, and then head over to my Paypal address, which is the same as my email in case you would like to contact me other than this forum...samuraistuart@yahoo.com. The first person that says "I'll take it" and sends the funds through paypal gets the knife. All of my knives come with FREE SHIPPING in the USA and have an unlimited lifetime warranty. If there is ever an issue, I'll repair or replace it. Thanks you for taking a look! Follow me on Instagram (stuartalandavenport)
