MagnaCut

One of the few steels that was made specifically for knife making by Mr. Larrin Thomass to meet the requirements of excessive steel toughness. It is truly a versatile super steel, not only because of its excellent toughness, but also because of its very decent durability and fine edge retention. All this is combined with a high degree of corrosion resistance. Comparable to CruWear or 4V steels - but rust-free, conditions permitting. It is even more corrosion resistant than stainless steel (even more than 20CV). The special mix of alloying elements is balanced to offer truly impressive performance. The carbide structure is very fine, much smaller than, for example, M390 or CPM-154. In terms of edge retention, the steel is somewhere between S30V and S90V steel. However, if the steel is hardened to a higher degree, the edge retention is unmatched. In combination with the correct grinding angle, its properties are enhanced. Typical Rockwell hardness up to 65 HRc. USA / Crucible. (1.15% Carbon (C), 10.7% Chromium (Cr), 2% Molybdenum (Mo), 4% Vanadium (V), 0.5% Manganese (Mn), 0.4% Silicon (Si), 0.2% Nitrogen (N), 2% Niobium (Nb))
