I believe 14c28n when heat treated properly is just as good as these expensive steels. I personally believe super steels are just marketing. 3v ive had really didn't have the retention everyone raved about. I haven't tried magnacut but it doesn't do anything for me. I prefer carbon steel and 14c28n does very well for a 1/3 of the price.
I've actually been using AEB-L the most lately, which is very similar to 14C28N. I haven't tested the edge retention, but it has been performing well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Perfect Sunday morning viewing. A nod towards the inestimable Pete and Cedric and Ada here, done mountain style. Where are you located brother? Top video Sir. Have a great day.
Interesting, I should do the same to see how it compares. I have noticed my Magnacut blade gets a real foggy or hazy look to the steel compared to my 3V...
If you do test it, I'd like to know the results. You seem to be getting the same performance as me when it comes to Magna-Cut vs 3V. My 3V does not patina as bad or fast as Magna-Cut. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I’ll attempt to do a video. I’ve Been wanting to compare Bark River’s A2, 3V, Cruware, S35vn, S45vn and Magnacut to see how they all compare...I also have those steels in Sabre ground V-edge blade’s from multiple brands. Would be interesting to see the results. I’ll be sure to let you know..
I can't believe the barkriver. They put the wrong label on the knife and the qc is a mess. Just because they sell magnacut, we don't know if it's real magnacut
I have 3v but no magnacut. I don't have enough time in with the 3v to say, but I hear it's a great knife steel. I don't see myself paying to try the magnacut.
I only have experience with Bark River Magna-Cut, and I prefer 3V over it. Some other knife brands may have better Magna-Cut. I just have to go by my own experience with the two types.
The 3V has been performing differently than the Magna-cut. 3V seems to be doing better when it comes to corrosion resistance. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@christopherlarson7579It was supposed to be. That was the whole reason Magna-Cut was invented. Some makers seem to be getting better performance. Maybe it has to do with heat treatment.
Also, tape off the blade where your not going to cut with. Usually about 1 inch of blade that you use for cutting. So you dont use the rest of the blade.
