CPM MagnaCut is a revolutionary stainless steel developed by metallurgist Dr. Larrin Thomas and produced by Crucible Industries using the CPM process. It was specifically engineered to break the traditional trade-off triangle between toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Unlike most stainless steels that compromise one property for another, MagnaCut achieves all three at a high level due to its optimized carbide design and low chromium carbide formation. It has quickly become one of the most respected “balanced super steels” in modern knife making.
Advantages
- Exceptional toughness (best-in-class balance)
- Excellent corrosion resistance (true stainless performance)
- Strong edge retention
- Excellent overall performance balance
- Great for real-world hard-use knives
