MagnaMax hitting the market

[Ilikesharpstuff]

Guardian Tactical has Apex OTFs available with MagnaMax blade steel. Wouldn't have guessed they would be the first to put it out there! Is anyone aware of any other knives available in this steel at this time?

GT has the worst website for information about their products

Yes. If I was basing a purchase decision on their website alone, I would probably almost immediately decide I don't trust their products.

I hope Buck brings it their catalog. Would like to try out the Bos Heat Treat of it.

If it is anything like Magnacut everyone who can get their hands on it will be using it in the next several months.

Protech Scapegoat - collab with Ramon Chavez - I think it's "coming soon," maybe not available yet, but one of the first models I've heard of being released in MagnaMax..

Buck moves the slowest of every production maker, on new steels. not that its a bad thing, but you'll likely see it out by every other maker before Buck does a knife in it. if their past history has any impact on it.

I would have guessed Spyderco would be first as they had the Mule in the previous Magnamax V1

Dawson knives had a few pieces in it advertised in their site before I saw GTs apex

From what I’ve read , MagnaMax sounds outstanding. My curiosity is piqued.

I missed this.

Is MagnaMax superior to MagnaCut then?

Personally I'm holding out for MagnaSupreme.

Oh sure, like you would know

 

[VorpelSword]

Wow! How long did that take . . .from 'cut to 'max in five years or so?

Now wee will all have to re-buy all those wonder knives and my grand kids will have to work their way through college or join the Army!

Is that a yes or a no to: is MagnaMax superior to MagnaCut then?

 

[J. Doyle]

Can you guys really not extrapolate data from the information Larrin provided?

There is very seldom any truly "better" in just about anything in life, knife steel included.

The answer is......"It depends."

Is that a yes or a no to: is MagnaMax superior to MagnaCut then?

From the looks of the chart, it looks superior to Magnacut in edge retention with a little less toughness. It looks very close to K390 but with better corrosion resistance of course. There, I did your homework for ya.

Im surprised Spyderco hasn't rolled out a Maganmax folder yet. I missed the Mule release.

Only because Ultra Magnus is already taken.
