Good question.
I'm enjoying the HECK out of my Maxamet Native. It just keeps going and going...
Thinking hard about a Maxamet Manix2 now, but they're a little too dear; gonna probably go with the translucent blue one in the cheaper steel instead.
Anyway, I guess my point for you is to consider a Maxamet Manix2 instead.
Don't think it will be back. They had a few that were warped and said it was a pita to work with. I assume due to the unique blade geometry.
That would be great news if true. And if it's in there it's more than likely to be released due to there recent changes on how they release stuff.Someone clearly missed page 31 of the new 2019 product guide...

I saw a post by Sal regarding Maxamet .
He said if it was in the catalog it's coming!
No problem here. They were doing it wrong and or using wrong abrasives.I have heard a few people had issues sharpening it. I would love to hear some feedback from people who have sharpened it. To be honest it has prevented me from picking one up so far.
Thanks. What do you find works for you.No problem here. They were doing it wrong and or using wrong abrasives.

Most steel is Brittle if you pry with it. Or come into contact with something really hard. But maxamet is not really that Brittle. It's not like it has alot of toughness like 3v though.its not ment to be bent. I'm curious to know how you cracked it.I got one, partly for the challenge of sharpening it.
Unfortunately I broke the blade before it got anywhere near needing to be sharpened. It was my own fault.
And I will be getting another as soon as they are available.
Be careful with Maxamet folks, it's quite brittle.

In any case I've seen many of stainless steels crack from various things.
But with that said many have put maxamet through some abuse and it faired well. Cruewear and 3v are better suited to some jobs, maxamet is really an edge retention king.

Was cutting points onto stakes for the garden, cut in and twisted it to pry the bit of wood off.
Done that before with other Para 2's, no prob.
I was surprised how little pressure it took to snap.
Definitely not meant to be bent. Lesson learned.
My next Maxamet Para2 will be purely a cutting tool, as it's intended to be.
