I am looking for a Cold Steel AD10 in Magnacut Steel. This will be my grail knife so to speak. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any in the usual online retail outlets that I shop. I was able to find a Cold Steel Recon 1 in Magnacut Steel, but not the AD10 because it's sold out. If anyone has any information on this, I would like to know.

You can buy an AD10 in S35VN , much more reasonably priced , and probably never know the difference, in performance , for

I don’t really understand it either. I’ve tried it from several different makers and I think it’s a fine steel. It is supposed to have the best balance of properties, so, I can understand the appeal if you are chasing that dragon. But I don’t think that most people will be able to tell much, if any, difference in use.

Despite that, I'm completely OVER it.



*I'll be happy to see Spartan offering some of their folders in S45VN again.

LOL . But, I'm not trying to disrespect Magnacut here . It appears to be a fine , well balanced steel . :cool:

I just don't think it's worth the price differential , I see thus far . For most common use .

Eventually , I hope it will be adopted more widely , and prices will become mainstream .

Yup im sick of it too : boobtube helps fuel it too; they make it out like everything else is obsolete now….

I ve come to realize that for almost all uses, my knife steel makes very little difference.

I don t even mind the discoloration on my non stainless blades.

This Magnacut madness is marketing, which many knife companies use to drive sales. I used to be very susceptible to this marketing, as my 100+ knife collection will verify.

Live and learn.
 
Magnacut is an excellent steel and a remarkable achievement by Larrin Larrin . Don't confuse the message with the messenger. Knife companies will exploit anything new to drive sales and jack up prices in the process. They are the messengers here. I remember Larrin saying that it should cost no more than any other PM steel, but all the knife manufacturers heard was the cha-ching of extra profits.

Also, Magnacut is never going to wow the "muh vandiums" crowd who are always quite vocal.

Yeah, I find myself falling victim to all the MC and other super steel hype but at the end of the day, most of my knives are for collecting and the ones I do use a lot mostly open Amazon packages, LOL! I am just not a hard user by any means! It's kinda like the aR15 scene...there are some people that need a $3000 AR but it sure ain't me! I enjoy my $500 ones just fine!
