Come on White River. How about a close estimate on when this will be made?

Thanks for keeping this thread alive jeepin. I’m still impatiently waiting here too. These would sell like hotcakes.

This and a FireCraft 3.5, please!

I’m keeping this thread alive! The M1 in MagnaCut would be an instant buy for me, no question.

I do want then to take a look at heat treat, though. They always run softer than most.

Bump for more info on a timeframe. I have a Bradford Guardian 3.2 in Magnacut and my M1 in S35VN but would love one in Magnacut

Hear, hear!

I don’t get why it’s taking them so long to bring it out.

We need to keep up the pressure!

Would be a great lake knife. Except if you drop it lol. But it would be great for fishing and beach stuff

?? Magnacut isn't that brittle. Dropped I'd say it isn't a much worse or better than most mainstream quality stainless steels assuming the heat treat is reasonable.

oops, I meant if one dropped it in the deep water and down goes $180

I wish they would respond.

Me too. I’m sure magnacut is expensive because it’s new. Maybe they are waiting to figure out the heat treat and all. They are a smaller company so they take their time.

Good points. Our job is to keep this thread going so they know their customers want it. Magnacut! Magnacut! Magnacut!

It would be such a great lake knife or fishing knife.

I try to limit my toy budget because I still have this unfounded hope that maybe I can own the house I'm living in, but given what I've heard of what magnacut does at decent hardnesses, I'm certainly waiting for one of these, since most of the Aussie timber I run into will take the edge off most knives without much trouble, and magnacut seems to be right on line between achievable, and not insanely expensive. I've got one knife in 3v that will take shavings off iron bark, but it's a belt knife, not one for long distance walking if I'm not planning any fire prep. All that said, I think at this point, it's them getting the steel, getting the heat treat dialed in, and delivering a home run hit, because all the other companies who dropped really good products have done so with the advantage of "well, it's new" But that's alright, so long as they know they can move a few, I'm sure they will when the time is right.

 

[RugerNurse]

I appreciate them taking the time to get it all right. Just excited for one!

Apparently they said some will be dropping in 2024, at least from what I read on a YouTube comment. Take that with a grain of salt as always. Would be great though
