The first batch was given to smaller makers, often custom makers. Right now, Tactile Turn is offering a couple knives in MagnaCut (change the option in the drop down). I've seen people say they have used up their MagnaCut already. The steel will probably trickle into the market.

Spyderco announced that the Native 5 Salt will come in MagnaCut. No date has been given for that.

I was giddy over this article regarding the corrosion resistance. Was just eyeing a custom benchmade 20cv for a high saltwater exposure usecase; hoping this metal makes its way over there as well

That’s a nice knife, the spiderco looks pretty shitty in comparison

    Spyderco takes pride in their knives looking ugly. They're totally form over function. Comparing the handles, I'm pretty sure the Spyderco would feel many times better in my hand. Also, they have amazing fit and finish, and come razor sharp from the factory.

    An expensive brand, to be sure, but I have only good things to say.

      How do you sharpen those serrated blades? I get function on serrated but I don’t really want a 150$ + knife to be disposable because it can’t be sharpened

Imagine spending $300 on a knife.

    I have a flash II that I paid about $50 for.

    It’s lasted me now 3 ish years, I carry and use it daily.

    I’ve gone through at least two cell phones in that time. (Three if I count a refurbished one that I shouldn’t have purchased).

    If it’s a tool that you use everyday… the daily use cost goes way down.

    I used to use Gerber Evos, and Evo JR. They were only about $20, but I could get maximum of a year out of them before they were falling apart and worn out. (Not to mention the pocket clip would often fail, and on a few occasions I snapped a blade…, once just trying to cut a small piece of pumpkin. )
