The Rise of MagnaCut Steel — Why Your Next Knife Should Have It
CPM-MagnaCut is changing expectations for EDC knives. Here's what makes it special.
What is MagnaCut?
A powder metallurgy steel designed by Larrin Thomas to maximize edge retention, toughness, AND corrosion resistance simultaneously.
Why It Matters
Previously you chose between S90V (edge retention) or 3V (toughness) or LC200N (corrosion). MagnaCut delivers all three.
Available Knives
Hogue Deka from $130 is the most accessible. WE Knife, Civivi, and Spartan Blades also use it.
