Should I buy a knife just because of magna cut

Our grandson got one when he turned ten I think.

Don't know that I'd make it my EDC if was still working as a mud man (and still 32 years old!) though. don't know just what I'd get, but then, that is the topic of discussion from the OP . . .right?

A Magnicut blade might be too expensive to put to the really rough treatment I have been talking scout. Wish Leatherman made a Wave with that steel today. The Buck 110s of the 1980s era were OK and inexpensive enough to replace every hitch. . . .and gain, there wasn't much else but about the same from Schrade I think.

Another easy option for the bag cutting choir back then was to regrind a spatula that came with the two-part epoxy mixture for bonding the joints of liners and tie-back tubulars before going down hole. The steel was as marginal as the Buck knives and more importantly they were about "free" after the operation. Hada nice wood handle and a thong hole too. As a mud man, I was not part of the crew on the drill floor and always a sort of extra, contractor guy, so I had to make my own from a centralizer bow.

And now it is time to get out of the Way-Back Machine for me and Vlade. Those were the days that I remember., But so what? I now walk with two Caines and take meds every Am and PM.

I don't need a heavy duty work knife like that anymore. I recently gave mine to my son-in-law but I do like the new ones the slim models they look interesting

Same here, I'm pretty messed up as well. But I still like to remember the good old days. When a man could still work and still would. I think Merle Haggard wrote a song about that
