Uses for magnacut

[Cole#357.30]

Was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on using Magnacut steel on a larger knife?

It should work fine. MC can be used in many ways depending on how it is heat treated. So a HT with emphasis on toughness maybe good for a larger blade IMHO.

How large, what thickness?

Hunting knives......Yes.

Prybar Beaters...... Nope.

I would like to see it on big bowies for sure.

Can you tell me more about this knife? What does it do well?

jux t Easy to carry, light weight for its size, cuts well, retains an edge, durable and robust, very high quality knife overall. This the the Freeman Outdoor Gear 451 5” in Magnacut.

Magnacut is a great all-around steel, good to excellent in most properties, not the best in any one property. But it is expensive, so probably not the first choice for most people for large blades.
