    @CuttingBoardRx 6 дней назад +1

    I appreciate the shout out from a well respected reviewer such as yourself!
    As I researched Dr. Thomas’s articles in regards to Magnacut’s properties, it wasn’t readily apparent that the best corrosion resistance is achieved at lower austenetizing temperatures 1800-1850 F. At these temperatures it is impossible to hit higher hardness without a very deep cryogenic treatment. So for a water bound knife I’m kinda with Benchmade regarding the heat treatment.

      Its definitely an entry level of magnacut, which is still good but as you say could always be better. But I wouldnt sweat it too much. I doubt the end user would notice enough to regret it too much. I would say its a batch issue - probably want to use the same stuff in the pocket knife as in the bendy knife rather tha send two or more lots of steel off for different protocols.

  • @maxlvledc
    @maxlvledc Месяц назад +8

    I used to think it made sense for magnacut to be 60-62 for fixed blades. Ans I agree it makes sense for the filled knife. But after seeing the performance of 65hrc magnacut from UG tools I can't help but want something closer to the 62.5 inflection point. 62-63 feels ideal for me. I think only spyderco and Hogue are getting there atm.

    Thanks for this Aaron. I have a couple of Spyderco Magnacut knives, which I believe are hardened to aabout 62. I've not used them hard, just EDC, but I will note that I have not had to so much as strop in a month. But the real beauty for me, in my always hot, always humid environment, is the stain resistance - wipe and go.

  • @eyeofthetiger4184
    @eyeofthetiger4184 Месяц назад +3

    G'day Aaron, I'm really pleased to see a focus on a "water sports" knife, yeah there is the Spydy Salt and others, but not that many out there. Having said that, with ya, plenty of handle real estate, (on the full size), good stainless, slicey and bronze washers, .... though there's not really anything that specifically makes it a "sea, or freshwater, faring" job.
    Some would argue for fully, or partially, serrated ....... though I'm not one of them ; )
    However, a marlinspike or fid is a must and the only time I'd advocate for a slot on a knife .... i.e "shackle tool" for when there's no hole in the tightening tab. ...... think, wet and cold hands.
    Also, for the application, forget the axis lock altogether, go with a backlock IMO.
    Re; hardness, bottom line, .... I'm quite happy to sharpen more .... rather than have any risk of chipping ; )
    Cheers Duke.

    I think that maybe the hardness is associated with a heat treatment that is optimized to give the steel a higher resistance to corrosion.
    However, I trust Soyderco's meticulousness (and their prices), that's why I bought a PM2 salt with Magnacut!
    As for the Magnacut, I notice that with very sharp edges (17 degrees), despite its toughness, the edge bends easily... at least on the PM2 and the Deka.

    Aaron, very thoughtful of you to release this video to coincide with the online retailers releasing the actual knives. I was very curious about both of these knives. I was unaware that the larger one is nearly the same size as the the larger Adamas folder. ... I've had a bias against grivory and frn used as scales in the past. I bought a Benchmade Redoubt primarily to checkout CPM-D2. The grivory scales were just covered with a plethora of tiny hotspots. Generous use of emeryboards, intended for fingernails transformed the Redoubt into a useable, backup hunting knife. So I've learned to tolerate grivory. ... I also snagged several Spydercos with blue FRN on a great, unexpected sale, last summer and found I rather like it as a utilitarian handle scale. ... Great video Aaron, thanks. There's probably one of those larger folding knives in my future - as well as the 7" fillet model.

Brands that seem to offer far more value for the price tag. Kershaw even offers the Blur in Magnacut, and they're not charging an ultra premium for the steel.

    Magnacut is a very good steel, the best all-round steel that is currently available. 62 HRC should be the minimum hardness for Magnacut, below 62 hrc no significant toughness is achieved. Magnacut reaches the most balanced properties at 63-64 hrc and the maximum hardness is so much I known at 65.5 hrc.
    I like Magnacut and thanks to the relatively high corrosion resistance, you hardly have to think about the application. However, there are better alternatives for sea water use, such as Terravantium, which is a super alloy and no steel. Personally I tend more to tool steels like: A2, Sleipner, 3V, 4V, Vanadis 4 Extra, Cruwear, M4, K490, K390, 10V, 15V, etc. My favorite steel is currently K390 at 64-65 hrc.

    60-62 Rch seems to be a bit of a family tradition at Benchmade. From the ATS-34 CQC7 and AFCK onward through 154CM, D2, M2, you name it. The reason expressed was always for edge toughness. They hated anyone going on forums, groups, god forbid a knife magazine and say the edges chip. I get it. I was always happy with the performance of Benchmade ATS-34 and 154CM.

    I've just recently bought the full size Adamas. (thanks in part to your knife review on it.-thank you) Love the knife but one thing that I wish most all knife companies these would either ease up on or completely do away with is JIMPING! The Adamas is for sure one of them. Darn jimping creates hot spots on the hands that shouldn't be there! The only company that I know that does jimping right is Spyderco. Sadly, I see the Adria has that jimping like the Adamas does. "Dear Benchmade...you don't need all that aggressive jimping!!

    HRC, yes a definitive and arguementative threshold!! I don't understand the "Folder" craze! I pocket carry the strongest foldind knife in the World! A Balisong. Rockwell should be less for smaller knives for ease of sharpening as they will be used more often(much more often), so 56-58. Larger blades(used much less often) should be 58-62 as you will almost never have to re-sharpen them. Rust is just a surface blemish, so if you can't cope, use Obsidian!😉

    Toughness is quite important for working knives probably getting a bit of abuse. Would the higher HRC be harder to sharpen? Most people using these won’t be knife nuts, just something that works ( cutting gritty old ropes, forgotten in a buoyancy aid or fishing tackle box etc) and easily maintained.

    Honestly I see almost zero difference in ANY high end blade steels in edge retention. They all get dull/chipped/rolled within a week or so with my use. Edge retention is literally a myth and sales tactic. Unless you’re just cutting cardboard and paper with zero obstructions on a perfect surface.

    Nice blades but until Benchmade comes to their senses on their pricing, I won't touch them. I can get an almost new CRK or a new ZT, Microtech, or Heretic for the price of some of BM's stuff or I could get a custom like my RMOR Knives Babayaga (64 HRC Magnacut) for the price of their Gold Class. Also, running their Magnacut soft for "toughness" is bull. My RMOR Knives Babayaga is at 64 HRC and thinner stock than those two and I guarantee I could break the latch of a car door without hurting the knife. Magnacut is crazy tough even at really high HRC

    I would be pretty concerned about how well those springs handle salt water. They are not likely to be cleaned, as I doubt any divers would take the knife apart and clean the internals after every use. Getting those springs wet frequently and not properly cleaned and/or oiled would, I think, inevitably result in corrosion and frequent breaking. Besides that issue, there's also just nothing about these that interests me beyond the big Magnacut blade; but they ran it soft so that kinda kills that for me, too. I appreciate the review, though!
