Thanks for the video. I tend to have pocket knifes that have more stainless properties, s90v, s110v, 20cv, etc. and outdoor fixed blades that I use on wood are 3v, I'm not a rust fan, my older 1095 stays in a drawer :( Will we see Magnacut in lots of folders, and for tough outdoor fixed blades too? I can't wait to see where Magnacut goes. I have a PM2 in cruwear, I LIKE it! I have nothing in magnacut yet. Shaman in magnacut please, and I'll be watching for more magnacut video's HERE!! So the stainless steels suffer the most in the shooting test? Ya, I cringe during those tests, love them.
This is getting scary. I've spent enough money on knives the last few years and I've been happy with my L.T. Wright Genesis 3V for some time now. Think I'll let it ride for now.
best knife made by man is probably a japanese feudal era tanto, made with some meteorite in a sacred place, ppl still trying to make blade as good as common blades from the 1600s in that place...
I've made several knives with Magnacut and I can attest to how well it sharpens. I've gotten some of my best edges ever with it - just off an 800 grit silicon carbide stone.
Tbo the least amount of Austenite will make sharpening easier. Many other factors involved but with the right ht can help most steels. Some compositions are easier to ht than others for low Austenite.
Martins girlfriend is a riot. She said that with a straight face. How many takes for that shot? She needs to be on more often.i really rolled on the floor when she cut his hair last week. Love the channel. I look forward each week for your videos, so I can get a good laugh and learn something. Thanks again Buzz
You guys still doing great, has been long time for me. However my lionsteel M5 as recommended by you is doing great after some survival modifications. Your hair test it is absolutely insane!!!
Ease of resharpening? Like if I'm out in the bush and just have a pocket stone; how hard is it to put the edge back after I win a fight with that Kodiak that was eyeing my goats?
@@robertfandel9442 Cold Steel has been sold and they are using Chinese materials and labor now. Get as many of the older models as you can before the inventory is completely gone. I purchased some replacement Tru Flights for ones I've had since they came out and even just a month between the first and second one the steel went from 1055 to the Chinese S50c
I've been watching you guys for so long I know when you are lying or not. Your excitement is genuine and infectious. I want one so bad now and I've only made it a few minutes in
I'm really disappointed with your test. You had this knife and you didn't tested properly. You discovered CPM magnacat edge chopping problem I guess but you decided to keep it a secret, right? Why?
@@mrkiky To be honest with this new stuff I'm not going to play around. All the blanks will go to Peter's heat treat. Already called and spoke to someone on site, they assured me they know how to treat it, fingers crossed!
@@mikeyeaton1914 IMHO, I think that 61 rockwell hardness might be the sweet spot for a fixed blade, where 62.5 would be better for folders. I like my fixed blades a tad softer so they can endure abuse if necessary.
You guys better never quit these videos. Great reviews, Great friends and for years now, always part of my routine. Great steel indeed. To much money for a tool but very nice. I just couldnt use it and would feel the need to return it, sell it or put it away so when I die someone else can have it. How insane is that!?
I mean this blade steel was created to be abused and continue to perform. The only 10/10 knife they’ve done and a knife that even if you use it a lot, you can still leave to your kid. It will most definitely last you a lifetime.
If you're going to wear a Benchmade hoodie you need to make sure you're unshaven and have an uneven haircut. Otherwise you aren't accurately representing the brand.
I’ve seen some very knowledgeable people show MagnaCut to be similar to CPM-4V, especially in its microstructure, but stainless. They group even closer together in edge retention and toughness according Larrin’s testing (author of Knife Steel Nerds and creator of MagnaCut for those who don’t know). Give or take according to heat treatment, Cru-Wear is the next most similar with a little better toughness and a little less edge retention at the same geometry and edge type. MagnaCut is certainly one, if not the most, well rounded high performance steel. I look forward to trying it in the future, but will probably get something in 4V first like the Spyderco Province in order to get a feel for it myself. That way I can be confident once it’s better available. A steel like this will be perfect for bushcraft/edc fixed blades in the humid and salty environment I live in.
When news on magnacut came out I reached out to TRC asking about if they were considering experimenting with it, but no response lol. CRK and Spyderco have seemingly at least played with it a bit, though.
Magnacut is going to change the knife world mark my words. I think Crucible knows it too, which is why since 2022 they have been making this steel as fast as they can. Now we need to wait till someone cracks the magic rockwell hardness code for this steel.
I do wish Rockstead would send you a knife to test. According to them, it should ace your rope test, but I’ll only believe it when I’ve seen an independent test (you or Cedric & Ada). Come on Rockstead, step up to the plate!
Check out Outpost76, Tom hosting outdoors, and Super Steel Steve cut testing. They often get hrc tested, sharpen past the burnt factor edges and test with cardboard to factor out behind the edge thickness that rope cutting is highly varied with.
@DutchBushcraftKnives thanks brother I have watched every damn episode of you guys show I just got all the terava jaakaripuko knives to test out finally too man glad to speak with ya thanks for your awesome content!
Clicked on this video on accident and was about to view a different one. Until it started ended up watching the whole thing and you have a new subscriber for sure. Awesome content!👍🏼
Loved the chicken anything! And wow the introduction to a new… knife.. (steel) I also noticed the kindness increase… you two are so much better that way… (no one was blaming the chicken walking into the fire) best show ever.
Vanadis 4 Extra and 52100, tick more boxes, for an ideal steel choice, for an outdoors knife (anything exept fishing and that's where Magnacut is the better choice). Ease of sharpening/repairing, is usually ignored, however, it's one of the most important things to consider, for an outdoors knife. Vanadis 4 Extra, sharpens back, like a Carbon steel, which is crazy for it's hardness and edge retention it provides! Ballbearing steel, is the love of my life. Next follows Vanadis 4 Extra, then CPM Cruwear, then CPM 3V. The first 2, are the best material for outdoors knives, I've ever tried.Crazy good stuff! PS Steel is the last, in terms of importance factor, to consider when choosing a knife.
Very interesting write up on KnifeSteelnerds about how Dr. Larrin designed this steel. It has the great toughness/edge retention of non-stainless steels like M4/Cruwear/4V but manages to keep all the chromium in solution instead of forming carbides, so it has excellent corrosion resistance and is classified as stainless.
i love my 3V knives, but when you think about it, all these bushcraft and survival knives made out of super steels that are nigh impossible to sharpen in the field/austere environments kind of defeat the original purpose of the tool. People complain that LT Wright's A2 is treated too soft, but that's only so users can sharpen it in the bush with whatever materials may be on hand.
Just carry a small diamond or ceramic hone in your pocket, bag, or a pouch on the knife. What do you expect to find in the bush? Re you thinking a river rock?
@@Unicorn161 I live in CA so I haven't been able to get out into the wild this year because of the fires, so I've been watching a lot of youtube and episodes of Alone. It amazes me how easy it is to lose a ferro rod or diamond plate. It just seems to me like original idea for these knives was if you find yourself in a scenario without specialized tools.
@@Unicorn161 Ceramic or leather can only hone, the problem is, when the knife gets really dull or gets edge damage. That's when a non Super steel wins in the field, to a knife made with Super steel and hardness of 60 hrc and higher!
Do you guys see how difficult it is to loose sharpness on this steel? Chances of you having a dull knife in the wild is so slim, unless you just decide to go live in the wild for years without any equipment.
It isn't at any point field friendly. I guess if you pack along all the fancy tools needed for sharpening it. Super (hard to Sharpen) Steels aren't for me. 1095 14c28n.
Forgot this video had this intro 👌 Never forget what governments did and the 80-90% of sheep who complied and pointed the finger at the 10-20% who valued basic human rights 👢👅 #coronafascism #neverforget
No it won't it's pure crap after people buy their fourth $300.00 knife all because they can't get the damned thing sharpened after spending $400.00 on fancy Japanese wet stones they will go back to knives they can actually sharpen !
Holy Crap Guys. Here I was thinking Cruwear was sent here by God, and you have the unmitigated gall to present a new, better steel? How am I supposed to sleep tonight? Thanks for another bar-setting video. Hope you did not get salmonella.
Love the videos guys. But at the end of the day, steel isn't everything. Edge geometry is just as if not more important. Also heat treat. I know you guys understand this though, jus ahd to mention it. Keep up the killer videos fellas
My freind I like the way you said your word play; but if I may, the way we say it in N. America is “Cutting Edge Technology”. But I will be saying “Edge Cutting Technology” from now on.
There's a stealth run of 1000 Buck 110s in Magnacut going on right now. DBK, if you don't get one in time, I ordered an extra for you....or one extra for me if you don't read this. I don't care. I do what I want. I'm from Florida. We crazy.
Affordable? It’s $410 total for the knife AND sheath sold separately. Fuck that haha. Crazy edge retention usually means a pain in the ass to sharpen. I’d rather have something like 52100 that has good edge retention and sharpens easily.
I mean a BESS sharpness test could have actually been useful information and truly told you which one is sharper. But, meh why get measurable results. Fun video, but would love to know the actual results.
The only problem with magnacut is, that its sold out everywhere! Its designed by metallurgy dr Larrin Thomas especially for knifes, to have superior balance in every aspect (hardness, corrosion resistance, edge retention, toughness). Im a custom knife maker, and the real problem is that magnacut isnt sold in europe, and its allso soldout in states from every seller.
@@svenvanderzwaag1012 All Super Steels I've tried are super easy to keep sharp with a ceramic rod or a leather strop. Problem comes when the knife gets really dull and/or when the edge gets damage. That's when the "non Super steels" have a huge advantage over the Super Steels and that's when those common steels. can be kept sharp in the field, while the Super steels can not. (Except if you carry diamond stones and got a lot of time, patience and a stable table out there in the field! lol)
@@greekveteran2715 yeah i heard that quite a lot. I'm not here to start a discussion, but I disagree with you. First of 1095, 01, d2 and all other good old tool steels are not a comparison with super steels like magnacut, cruwear, m390, 3v etc. They are just totally outclassed. Next up the performance in the field. First a knife with a good super steel won't go really dull on you in a longggg time. You can take a cruwear machete into the jungle for 2 months and it will still be sharp lol. Second if you want to reprofile a blade with tool steel you will want good sharpening equipment too, so I don't really get the point. How else would you want to sharpen a tool steel? With a brick? Also super steels are often not that hard to sharpen, even in the field. There are a lot of portable sharpening systems with little diamont stones that do wonders on super steels. Come on man, tool steels served a purpose and they still do as a cheap alternative, but they are just outclassed in every way.
@@svenvanderzwaag1012 You didn't get exactly what I meant, Also, you have confused steel types/categories. 1095 isn't a tool steel, it's a low alloy steel belongs to a different category than D2. Also CPM Cruwear, isn't a in the same category you put it with all those Super Stainless steels. As for the field maintenance, you can easily maintain a 57 hrc 1095 (AND fix any issues like edge chipping) also you can bring it back from realy dull state, to super sharp without needing a stable table, 2 hours to reprofile it or sharpen it from scratch, as if it was a Super Stainless or Power Metallurgy steel at higher than 60 hrc that they ussually are. You simply can't spend so many hours, and normaly common man, doesn't carry, or have YOUR skills, to maintain such a steel in the field.
@@greekveteran2715 you get what i mean when i put 1095 in the tool steel category. Also yeah cruwear is not super stainless, but I also mentioned 3v. I don't get why you are making a problem out of that and also it is totally besides the point of what I'm saying. The argument "A super steel cant be mantained in the field" is simply not true. Super steels might take a bit more time, but you dont have to mantain them for a long time. Also the argument you need expensive tools or knowledge is simply not true. You want to sharpen or reprofile your 58 hrc knife in the field? How do you do that? With a stone or a sharpener. Just get a little bit of a coarser one for you super steels and your done. You dont need hours like you say. If thats you, you are really doing something wrong my friend.
When I bought my Condor Bushcraft knife, it was $25 and it's still going strong 20 years later // I can't see paying $200 for something I might loose on the trail..
You may not, but I would happily spend that much for a steel that is significantly better (edge retention and toughness) than your average 440/Aus-8/8Cr13Mov steel.
