The Next Generation of Knife Steel! MagnaCut is a specifically created steel alloy for knife making and offers significant benefits for cutting tools. CPM MagnaCut (simply referred to as Magnacut) is stainless steel made in the USA using the CPM (particle metal) process. ‘Magna’ in Latin means great or awesome. And the "cut" harkens to the Vanadium Alloys Steel Company (VASCO) that pioneered other high-speed steel using a similar naming convention. CPM MagnaCut was designed by Larrin Thomas as a unique powder metallurgy stainless tool steel with a design which eliminates chromium carbide in the heat-treated microstructure. An excellent combination of toughness and wear resistance is achieved by having only small, high-hardness vanadium and niobium carbides, giving CPM MagnaCut properties similar to non-stainless steel CPM 4V. This steel offers an outstanding combination of properties for knives. Toughness: compared to other Steels MagnaCut rates top in toughness. The excellent toughness results indicate that CPM MagnaCut is very resistant to chipping and breaking. In knifemaking, the high toughness makes it especially good for bigger blades, and fine cutting knives can have thinner edges for better cutting ability with reduced risk of chipping. Edge Retention: The CATRA (Cutlery & Allied Trades Research Association) test machine performs a standard cutting operation and measures the number of silica-impregnated cards that are cut. It is considered a measure of relative wear resistance, reported in this table as compared to a 440C standard. Grade HRC % MagnaCut 62.5 135 S90V 61.5 195 20CV 61.5 155 S45VN 61.5 140 S35VN 61 130 CPM 154 61 120 440C 56 100 MagnaCut is excellent for Long-Wearing Specialty Cutlery and Large Blades.
