New Steel CPM MagnaCut available today

I finished my first MagnaCut Gyuto and used it today. The videos are of a chef chopping parsley
fitzo fitzo like other wear resistant steels you will want to use diamond film for your mirror finish.

it seemed to grind fine. I didn’t enjoy finishing it. But that is the same with z wear.
I didn’t have the right sharpening stones with me here in France so it wasn’t easy to sharpen. But not difficult either.

I have 8 more to make. I’ll learn more as I process those all together

Looks good! How did you do the heat treat? And what bevel thickness did you go with?

I know this stuff is pretty flexible just like Z-Wear, and can get to some pretty high Rockwell! I was thinking I'd shoot for 63-64rc for a kitchen knife, so I'm curious if others have tried it out.
 
.
Furnace at 2125 F in higher temp foil
Plate quench
Liquid nitrogen and then double temper 350F yielded 62+rc

I’m not sure what you mean by bevel thickness? The spine is 2.7 mm at the heel

Sorry, maybe there's a technical term for it!

By bevel thickness, I meant, how thin did you get the edge before secondary bevel was added? I know Z-Wear could go super thin, so I'm assuming Magnacut is similar in that regard.

EDIT: P.S. - Get an end grain cutting board!! :D

It’s .005 behind the edge.
I take like six measurements across my knife so that’s what’s more important to me

I don’t really grind the way that I think you’re explaining it

does this pic help?

end grain? I can’t afford such luxuries.

Very nice! The pic basically explains it all! It seems like Z-Wear but stainless! Pretty awesome

Have you thought of making your own cutting boards? It's a good way to make your knives look even more impressive to customers, haha!

I have no time to tackle more skills ....
 
Gots me a stick on order!:cool:
Figure if I'm careful, I can get a couple outdoor, 1 EDC, and maybe a chef (depending on actual stock thickness) out of one 3-foot piece and get a good read on it under various geometries/conditions.
 
Hope it stays in stock because I'm going to have to move a knife before I can afford it.

I'm not complaining. It cost what it does and Pop's prices are always good but is it going to stay this high and if so why does it cost so much more than say S35VN? Just wondering if there is something that changes things.
