In a nutshell, Dr. Larrin Thomas designed a steel with the edge retention and toughness of CPM-4V while being more stainless than CPM-20CV. By carefully balancing the chemistry, Magnacut manages to form only extremely fine vanadium and niobium carbides that maximize the edge retention while minimizing the reduction in toughness.
It’s a stainless steel that has no real compromises and essentially can be used in any role where 4V edge retention is desired. The next step is to have the same achievement for a 10V or 15V class steel making a Sumacut and then a new age will truly have dawned in knife steel.
