We're still trying to get enough in stock to satisfy production orders. We hope to have it in the store by mid-year.Will Max be available through the web store?
It is nearly as old as 10V. Basically 10V with lower carbon. The comparisons charts typically show it having really high toughness but that is for a low recommended hardness. It is possible to heat treat it harder but it probably makes more sense to use CPM 10V.Nice job on the new store website, too! I was perusing...what is 9V?? New version of 10V?
Yes, There is still material from Crucible in the shop.I just received some magnacut from NSM and the certification sheet says that the county of origin is the USA.
Is there still old stock working its way out?
Pretty damn awesome..Had the privilege to tour the Niagara Specialty Metals facility today withLarrin and his family - his first time seeing the mill. Bob
nsm walked us through and we all got a chance to see the crew in action. I managed to get a shot of Larrin with the finish rolling crew.

It was great meeting his family - his kids are very polite, and his bride has a great sense of humor.
