I enjoy the exploring of differences in opinion, but the hostility?
Be kind to one another friends 🙏🏼
No one will ever listen or agree even if they know the other person is right or at least see where they are coming from, if it comes from a place of anger
 
Murat,

Calm down buddy. Please don't read this the wrong way, you remind me of my brother who is one of my favorite people in this world. He has Asperger's which is on the autism spectrum. He sometimes misreads people and he also does not communicate well and people misread him. I think that's happening right now.

You remind me a little bit of Cliff Stamp. And if you know my opinion of that man, you know that's a compliment.

He was usually right but sometimes he was wrong and could not see it.

I know for certain there is a ton of stuff that I don't know.

And occasionally something that you say will get outside of the area where I can say with confidence that I know what I'm talking about.

The difference in hardness between 61 and 62 is not doubling in hardness. It is not a perfectly linear scale but it's not logarithmic either. It's not as dramatic a jump as I think you believe it might be.

But I'm pretty sure that I know more about the subject than you or Blue Max. I'm an educated professional who has put a significant amount of time and energy into this, and we currently hold the national and world cutting championship which is the first time a manufacturer has held either one and the first time anyone has held both at the same time in a long time. We know what we're talking about here. I appreciate your enthusiasm but Blue Max is not some dumbass who doesn't know what he's talking about and he has valid points and you are being hostile. There's no need for the hostility brother. This is a low drama zone and Max is a really cool dude.

Magnacut is not a stainless 4V. They don't behave in a similar manner, they do not heat treat in the same way, and they do not even harden through all of the same mechanisms. 3v is a lot more like 4v than magna cut. And cruwear even more so. Magna cut is not a stainless 4V. It just isn't. It's a brilliant steel but in pretty much every meaningful way it really is not similar to 4V and it would not be as competitive in Blade sports as 3v or cruwear. Believe me what I'm telling you here dude, I know what I'm talking about.

The edge stability of my optimized 3v is damn close to that of a simple steel. 4v would probably be more to your liking but I doubt you will see much benefit to magna cut. It is more stainless and it has somewhat higher wear resistance but if you're looking for edge stability (or enhanced edge retention from higher edge stability), my 3V is not half bad, and magna cut is not 4v. Like Blue Max said, the difference is really not going to be as great as I think you are expecting it to be.
