Cheat codes: How did he create one of the most effective high carbon stainless knife steel by DROPPING both carbon and chromium in Magna Cut?!
Alloy breakdown: What is the nitrogen and niobium doing to boost the characteristics of MagnaCut? Why is Chrome it's own worst enemy in knife/cutlery steel ordinarily?
Composition in contrast: What ACTUALLY makes CPM Magna Cut Steel different from every other knife in your collection, and why do I think you should buy a MagnaCut knife when you get the chance?
CPM MagnaCut Steel - truly; cutlery, knives, and stainless steel may never be the same!
