How’s the Magnacut compare to 3V? And also apples.

[beeinak]

Granny Smith is where it's at. Always was my favorite. A little sprinkle of cinnamon on them makes a great snack

I've only had two knives that I made for a relatives that was in MC. Both took a wicked sharp edge with minimal to no bur. 3V has always been harder to sharpen. Maybe I got a bad heat treatment but it's always felt mushy and didn't take an edge as well. Then it lost it keenness fast. But did hold a serviceable edge for a while. I requested D3V protocol but I don't think it was done. I think it was left a little on the soft side

The MC was perfect. Jerred did the HT and looked like he nailed it. So I think heat treatment will be the biggest difference between these two options

Oh, and for Granny Smith, the more tart the better

They make great pies.

How do y'all like these? Picked em fresh last night.

The tree was fully laden a week ago, but the porcupines snatched most of them up. The 'pine also just snatched a couple .38, so problem solved for now.

Nate and Jo are gonna have to publish the CPK Optimized MagnaCut Apple Pie Recipe book.

I'm sure the heat treat section will be informative. Though they might omit a step or two for proprietary reasons.

You guys are nuts, Winesaps are the best!

Been enjoying sugar bee quite a bit as of late. But cosmic crisp is also a fine apple. If we're talking regular, old school apples, braeburn is where it's at. Take your Cortland and go make some cider.

Bruh .....


Honeycrisp up in this bitch tooooo lol

What's going on on your cup, yoko ?

Those Cotton Candy Grapes are good too. I like my CPK aeb-l. It does everything I need and more. I have d3v and it’s great of course. But don’t sleep on CPK aeb-l. It will totally cut some stuff.

AEB-L, to 3V, about MagnaCut: "Don't look at me, I do what he does, just slower". Then they each cracked another bottle and debated it further, into the wee hours.

Meanwhile...at Peters' Heat Treat...

"Yep, these apples look just about perfect. Not too hard, not too soft."

It’s a tremendous burden being right about everything, all the time.


Somehow, I manage.

Apples: depends what you do with them. For this you want Boscoop.



Growing up, in Sep, we stacked them in the basement, next to the potatoes, and ate them during winter.

Not my pic, but I’ll take one on Xmas. Yummy.

Growing up we had a cold cellar. We stored potatoes, apples and canned goods for use all winter long.
