Found this one today.

Haven’t posted mine in awhile…my Gen 4 non flipper, pre lock bar insert, running on Teflon. Smoothest knife I own…
and gave the Micarta scale a break and installed the dark green on the 3” Wharncliff for a change of pace.

I feel like Hinderer is getting more and more popular, with the new X, new magnacut steel, and supposedly their bringing back the full track. Still expensive, but it wasn’t long ago, that it was really difficult to get any Hinderers, never mind the color/blade combination you want, they seem to be expanding.

Took this shot before the rain started here in NC this morning. Two of my absolute favorite knives:
Derek Weyand Custom Trapper & my Stonewashed Gen 6 Bowie. These 2 bring me more joy than objects probably should!!

Finally got a skinny slicer and it’s even in magnacut. Same time I found it I found a skinny titanium scale. Already had a few filler tabs. Wish hindere made brass standoffs and stuff but all said, pretty happy with it as it is.

One of the smoothest actions I’ve experienced

I see everyone is crazy about Magnacut. I wonder what would be the optimal HRC for this steel. I saw one Hinderer magnacut Project X in the Exchange being sold, with the HRC below 60. Isn't that a bit too low?

 

[Mister_Punchy]

Medford is the one who was heat treating Magnacut below 60. But Hinderer is not heat treating the steel at its optimally either as he's going at 60-61 if I recall correctly.

63-65 according to Larrin.

That sounds low to me, but it seems all of the big manufacturers, run steel a little below what is considered “good”. I remember a ZT 0909 testing around 59, similar to what CRK ran their S35VN at.

I believe someone tested a 20CV Hinderer and also got around a 59….?
Perhaps these steels would be way too chippy @ 61 (or 64 for Magnacut), or hard to sharpen for most folks, and that is the reason…?
