Will MAGNACUT Change Everything? The Overland By TJ Schwarz 

Thanks so much for the awesome review. I'm really glad you like the knife! If anyone has any other questions about the knife you can ask me as a response to this comment.

One of your best recommendations by far. Can tell it in your voice and mannerisms. I'm buying one right now.

I have no practical need for a fixed blade but this makes me want to get one.

Just got mine in the mail today, and I love it! It's the perfect general purpose, medium-sized fixed blade. It was literally hair-splitting sharp right out of the box. When you use it to slice food, your knuckles don't hit the table (or cutting board) because of the way it's designed. I bet if the average person bought this one knife, it would serve most of their cutting needs for the rest of their life if they kept it sharp and didn't abuse it.

I love all the options you get: scales, hardware, sheath and even Cerakote if you want. Great review.

I can't wait until this steel is readily available and hopefully priced well. Between you and the brutal testing by Dutch Bushcraft Knives I'm extremely impressed with it.

Well Hell! I'm sold! Now I want me a Magnacut. I even want this Blade, I love everything about it.

Excellent design for camping! Thank you for putting out the info!

I have a custom outdoor magnacut blade and i love it also got a chef knife on the way in magnacut. Its probably the best blade steel for most people out there. Its extremely stainless. Very tough. Pretty impressive edge retention and prettt good to re sharpen

This just got put on my "Short List" Thank You for another great review 👍

I've had the spyderco native 5 with magnacut on pre order since the first of the year. I'm still anxiously waiting it's arrival. I can't wait try it out. Been carrying k390 stretch 2 for work and salt 2 with lc200n for fishing and kayaking. Magnacut looks to be a love child of the 2. As always awesome video! Good day gentlemen

I ordered one the day you posted this video back in February and I took a little while just cuz he was behind but it was definitely worth the wait I've had it for about 2 months now and I love it. Even though I haven't done a ton of outdoor work with it because it's so nice I'm scared to hurt it

I would love a mini. Exact knife, just scaled down to a 7-7.5" overall length to make it a bit more EDC friendly. TJ is a boss. Thank for showing this off Aaron.

I am so excited about the future of knives with magnacut. I have a creely blade on order in magnacut, should show up later this year.

This looks amazing, great review.

Great resign and steel choice! Thanks for the review.

Great review! That knife is amazing.

Nice to hear Magnacut is living up to the hype.

This look like a real winner! Great steel and exactly what I want!

Great review, covered all the necessary bases to give a buyer confidence when they haven't had the chance to handle the goods. SOLD!

The steel is tough compared to other high edge retention steels: Elmax, S30V, M390, etc. but much less than 3V, AEBL, 5160, and 8670. It has good edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance. The knife design is a slicer, and it is lightweight. Good point about the heat treatment, as it certainly figures into the toughness. The blade steel and design really appeal to me.

Really cool design, I don't need anymore knives but I might need this one!

This knife is now front and center of my to get list. It’s gonna have to wait til after Christmas, but then it’s gonna be mine! Thanks brother!

I've been looking at this one for a little bit. Good to see you approve.

Looks very like very utilitarian blade. Fantastic review, You and Family Stay Safe 😷 and God Bless 🙏

Excellent video/review as always. Any plans to visit Northern Minnesota up near the BWCAW on your travels? If you haven't already that is. I suggest actually going through an outfitter and canoeing/ portaging into the Park. ( this stye of camping is on the more hardcore side of the scale, especially if you choose to do a loop. I prefer to setup a base camp and do day trips from there, as I'm not as young as I used to be. LOL) Permit season has already opened so entry points are far and few between in certain locations and dates so your options are limited. Ely is probably the more popular cities to go through as elevation is relatively flat-ish. Where-as the Gunflint trail would be the other. The elevation changes tend to a bit more dramatic on this end of the park where the highest peak in Minnesota, Eagle Mountain is located. This is considered a day trip at the end of a hiking trail, no canoe needed. There are plenty of car/ RV camping locations if canoe camping isn't logistically plausible/ possible all over the Great North worthy of checking out. Cheers and safe travels to you and the family!

Awesome video as always

Very nice review. I’m a fan of the design. The blade shape also reminds me of my Chris Reeve Insingo profile. Was just about to say the Kydex sheath would make for a great IWB option and noticed you thought so as well. What are your thoughts on Magnacut vs. 3V?

The Hardness listed on schwarzknives is 63-64 HRc as of today (3/9/2024). I assume the value you gave was for an earlier version and they increased it to improve the performance. I've heard on other RU-vid sites 61-62 HRc is not good for Magnacut. Any comment on this topic?

I've been looking for the perfect food prep, camp, bushcraft type fixie. This may be it!

I think an XL version would be more appealing to me

G'day Aaron, man I'm lik'n this one a LOT. I'm a big fan of designs that cater for cutting in the middle of flat surfaces; sure food prep but other applications too. And as a stainless lover, it ticks all the boxes. Hand done with magnacut, it's probably worth the dough, but @ 470 ish AUD, unfortunately its pushing beyond my knife budget. Great to know its out there though, who knows when one might have a windfall, many thanks for showing it. Cheers Duke.

I tried and tried to order mine off your page but it wouldn’t let me use my PayPal credit card. If TJ sees this this is where I saw it first. I can’t wait. I was actually looking for a fixed blade to EDC something a little smaller but I couldn’t pass this up. It’s a little pricey once said and done but hey you only live once plus if I get sick of it I can change it up.

Awesome knife, awesome story. A little pricey for me at the moment, but definitely a great buy. Thanks for that review! I hope he sells many of these!

This blade would be great in a larger size. same handle (maybe slightly bigger) with the blade scaled up. I say scaled up because making it longer wouldn't give you what you want, the blade would have to be scaled all the way around. 7" blade would be ideal I think.

Absolutely love that bright orange g10!!!!

Hi is that Peters Heat Treat in PA they are fantastic.We use Peters in our tooling industry give them a thumbs up !!

The blade and the gimping reminds me of the massdrop perpetua. Good looking knife.

I really like this knife. It's a design I've always wanted made but never have had it done. I personally got the idea from a cheap Betty Crocker chef knife. The design is great but the BC knife needs to be sharpened a lot. I can't afford a knife like this, but I think if you can it would be smart to pick one up.

I’ll wait until CPM 4000VD1 Laser cut comes out it’s supposed to be better .

How do you think this compares to zware by Miller Brothers blade or cpm m4 0e the crucible 35, 90.

I'm excited for mine to ship!👍

Absolutely love the Lefty carry options. I’m going to have to talk to my wife about getting just one more knife. LOL

I have come to believe the difference between 800 and 900 rope cuts means little to me, really. Now I dig the idea of a new steel, one that is stronger and sharper longer; or do I. I am afavored (is that a word), with ZDP-189, and S90v, and M390. And 1095 works fine as well. I guess it depends how close to pay day it is?

got mine after waiting 2 months and i fucking love it. as someone who loves to cook and be by the ocean, no matter how much i love carbon steel scandi ground knives they just aren't the best fit for most of my applicaitons. I can wear this bad boy outside or inside my waist all day without a care, then when i feel like whipping up some food i can use it at my cutting board just as well as a small petty knife. I'm a saltwater fisherman on the pacific coastline so often times just the misty salty air will be enough to make things rust. I have a SS Mora Kansbol that has been my go to fishing knife for years now but even cutting bait with that and failing to dry and clean it completely will result in some rust forming by the time I get home. I also raise my own rabbits, chickens and quail on my property with the possibility of moving in to squab and the knife handles wonderfully. This thing really does it all for me. I don't really whittle or baton kindling for fires, a lot of times we can't even make fires out here in California, so this really fits the bill. Though there are a couple of places on this knife that seem to strike a firesteel well enough, it would also be very easy to grind those spots just a bit and make it strike amazingly well, for those that are interested. I have not had to resharpen or touch it up yet so I am very impressed with edge retention but can not speak on how well it takes an edge. All I can say is this is my first supersteel and I will have a hard time going back. I love the idea of getting new scales, hardware and leather sheath in the future to make it feel like a whole new knife again.

Seems to me if he puts the holes for the handle on both sides, he could easily make attachments for the set of holes you aren't using for the clip, to hold a ferro rod upside down or a small flashlight, or both.. They should also make a dangler. All of which you could buy when you buy the knife, or as an add on later.

WINNER ... Thanks Aaron

Yes it has!

Could you do a video on an OKC bayonet? I'm sure everyone would enjoy seeing you put it to the test and beating it up (the way it's supposed to be used). Everyone likes the military and their awesome knives!

Excellent knife! Maybe someday!

Nice review and introduction to this product. I'm sure it's a great knife with features not seen on other knives. That said at the end of the day.....you want this knife or (2) tried and true ESEE 6 knives with an Ontario Rat 5 thrown in that you can get now? 300 bucks buys a lotta knife.

what's funny is the blade shape is super reminiscent of the Skrama, they'd make a good pair to use

Seems like a fixed-blade take on the Spydiechef but with upgraded steel. Nice.

Magnacut will 100% change the knife world. I have a custom magnacut blade from Deep Cuts Cutlery and I can say it blew me away. I dropped the edge straight onto granite from 8 inches by accident, minor roll, fixed in no time flat...no chipping, NO CHIPPING! a steel at 64hrc with that edge retention has no business being that tough.

I absolutely love this knife. My wife may kill me but I think I will be ordering one. Maybe she’ll let me use it a time or two before she off’s me! Great review Man. I won’t tell my wife you are the one that convinced me to get this so she doesn’t come after you next! 😁

No idea why chef/bushcraft style knives arent mainstream. Its by far the most versatile design

Can you review the new benchmade anonimus!?

Still the best channel after many years. God bless you Aaron and your family. Praying for you guys.

Reminds me of the Gaurdian

Not cheap for sure. But.......maybe the best choise for a camp-edc fixed bllade, with a great steel. Once buy ,once cry.

Beautiful knife and no doubt it is a quality piece. I just cant justify the price but I dont use a fixed blade all that much.

Cut the white parts out of those bell peppers, it makes your dish bitter.... nice review btw

Who does his heat treatment in Pennsylvania? Just curious. Thanks.

I will definitely be ordering one but also it gave me a lot of anxiety when you dipped it in the Gulf of Mexico and stabbed it in the sand

Is the crkt version made of Magna cut too?

Getting a new better balanced stainless knife steel option will definitely reduce demand for incumbent steels. Especially, other powder metallurgy steels and lc200n Limited change to knife design, ergonomics, blade geometry, maintenance, and sharpening compared to current high end stainless steels. Probably no worse to manufacture, grind, heat treat once dial in as per many current steels. I'm not sure magnacut will be instrumentally creating a new category of blades. Rather, we may be blessed with a better option for many existing knife applications and environments, superseding or reducing demand for other steels.

As much as I love these videos, I hate the fact that I can't afford anything that's in them! Kind of gives you some insight into the fact that there is some separation...

Since I am an Idahoan. Where would I be able to find one to purchase

Very Cool Fix Blade Knife. Also orange is my favorite color. I'm Sold an take my money !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome knife, they missed the mark on length. Over 8" is not an EDC knife. Love the design but they needed to hit that 7.5" sweet spot for fixed edc. The concept of chef, camp kitchen, bushcraft, edc is very ambitious and the exact knife I have been looking to edc; however front pocketing this fixed blade at 8.5" is a stretch. Oh well the hunt continues...

Don't understand those who cut on a plastic cutting boards. Are you guys like the taste of that plastic shavings you get with your food? Insane

Really sexy wanna try magnacut myself a little worried I’ll have to spend a day to sharpen it though I guess that’s why I bought the KME system. Better not rust if spyderco is using it in their salt series .Id appreciate if u give me yours 🤟🏻😜🤟🏻.

damn i really want this

Hybrid chef/camp knife? Looks like an updated Nesmuk. And yes it is a useful design. Frankly, I think no particular “magic steel” is going to change the world, because there will always be another one coming along. I recall when 440C was hot, when D2 was hot, when 154CM was the “ultimate steel.” I own a Busse made of INFI. This Magnacut sounds great, for the moment.

Awesome blade shape. Looks a lot like the steel will modus, which is one of my favorite knives to use

Why is The Cologne Podcast intro played? 😂

I just wish the total length was slightly shorter for a real edc blade unfortunately. I usually limit my edc blades to 7 inches. If this knife came out in a mini version that was identical just shorter I’d buy one immediately

Years later, just ordered one. It’s a different and interesting design. You’re terrible at feather sticks btw lol. Love your channel though!

PLEASE have the large hands tshirt made and wear it in some videos!! I love seeing a new design that is well thought out and works well. Your opinion means a lot to me so seeing your love for magnacut is making me want to seek it out.

Looks like a Bradford fixed blade

Will it change everything? No, it won't (a personal opinion). Great review, thanks.

I like it but I don't like the price.

нож супер 🔥👍😁

Jimping on T.O.P. of some blades can be a bit uncomfortable.😏

Opens wallet... Welp guess I'm continuing to use a Mora... Lmao. Sweet looking knife though I'd personally skip the jimping for a knife like this.

Great

You'll have to forgive me, my finger slipped and I hit "dislike" first before hitting LIKE correctly 👍 Great review and blade, really liking that kydex sheath!

Yes I want. Don’t tell my wife lol

It is a kitchen knife.

First, CPM Magnacut is NOT an Uber steel. It's not a higher number named alloy like ATS-55 or S45VN to capitalize on popularity. It genuinely is different. Before Magnacut they didn't know how or want to try to reduce formation of Chromium Carbides. It has HALF the chrome of 440C. What Magnacut is about is balance, not ultimate-do-everything super steel. There are a lot of harder, tougher and harder & tougher alloys. Magnacut gives the most of two opposite things possible AND corrosion resistance. It also encroaches less on the Iron and carbon mix which is basic steel with alloyjng elements to a fourth or more of some alloy mixes. Only ten percent chrome, not a fifth of it being chrome before even putting other elements in. It's not hype, it's a different approach by a guy who is a scientist, not a knife marketer or bladesmith.

These do look like they're awesome knives going to have to save up some pennies and get one.

How could this be easy to sharpen at a hardness of 61 to 62? There has to be a downside to this steel, time will tell. Thanks for the vid.

Nice knife. I can't stand orange.

Is this a paid promotion or a legit review? The reason i ask is you didn't have, even one small criticism of the knife...so i assume it's a perfect knife!

I don't care what's the steel on a blade, as I care for it's thickness,and more than that the geometries on both the main bevel and the edge, the handle design/ergos and the sheath on fixed blades. All of these factors, are more important to me, than the steel itself. Also, as soon as it's a ballbearing steel on my fixed blade, and any kind of stainless steel on my foodprep knives and folders, then I'm 100% covered. No need for Magnitude, ehmmm excuse me, Magnacut, M390 or any kind of superstainless steels out there. I've used most of them, and that's what my opinion came out to be. PS1 Now, you can eat me alive, for saying my opinion.... we're all overcnsuming marketing monsters... Being logical and human, is out of fashion nowadays PS2 Does he still have large size hands? LOL That's a joke, because we all are bombed with brainwashing from everywhere, in one way or another.

I'll wait until my BK-16 falls apart with my kydex sheath ,then I'll buy one of those. At least I KNOW I can depend on it.. ooooohhhhhhh MAGNACUT????? ONLY 300$ FOR A NECK KNIFE GUYS!!!

More knife makers need to use the pay later or overtime method like sizzle or PayPal pay every few weeks this sends me over the edge every time and usually only buy this way now. This way the wife doesn’t really know. Lol.

Definitely not for what this knife costs! Way way over priced.

Magnacut is / has been *way too* overhyped, even before it was made available on production knives. It really reminds me of when s30v & M390 hit the market. Everyone was drooling and couldn't wait for this space age blade steel. And then when s90v / s110v came.. people had a blade that could make "serious cuts".
