Mini Knife Magnacut -Blade only

<NOTE! This is a PREORDER. The knife will be sent as soon as it is ready>

Our new small carving knife/ whittling knife made from top modern CPM Magnacut steel is the only one of its kind. It is specifically developed to be the best knife that money can buy. Designed by a professional carver, using the best knife steel on the market and forged with a custom heat treatment for optimal performance as a carving knife. The edge stays sharp much longer than ordinary knife steel, it will never rust and it doesn’t chip easily like many other knifes made from “supersteel”. It has a hardness of ~60hrc but is still easy to sharpen. The back of the blade is rounded and polished for more comfortable push cuts, and it allows you to burnish the wood smooth after carving. All knifes are handmade and signed, and all knifes come with a diamond polished flat over hollow -grind.

Sharpening this knife really no different than any other knife. However, we recommend that you use diamonds or cbn sharpening abrasives to maximize edge retention. We also recommend that you strop with 8000 grit (3 micron) diamond paste instead of ordinary stropping compound. You can do this about five times before resharpening the knife with 1000 grit (~20 micron). The hollowgrind will last a very long time but can be reset with any regular grindstone like a tormek etc. With this knife, you wont need any sharpening equipment for several full days of carving, just bring the knife and some wood and carve on!

CPM Magnacut steel is a newly developed powder metallurgical steel by Dr. Larrin Thomas. This steel is groundbreaking for stainless steel in that it doesn't form any large chromium carbides that make the steel brittle. Instead it has only vanadium carbides that are much smaller and harder, giving it unmatched toughness and edge retention while still being easy to sharpen. Pair that with a custom cryo heat treatment, a superfine hollow grind and an exceptional design makes this probably one of the best carving knifes ever created.
