Edge Retention

MagnaCut was engineered to hold its edge longer—without becoming brittle or hard to sharpen. That means less time maintaining your blade and more time putting it to work. Whether you're slicing cord or prepping firewood, your edge stays razor-sharp.

Corrosion Resistance

Unlike most high-hardness steels, MagnaCut doesn’t rust easily. It delivers top-tier corrosion resistance, even in wet or coastal environments. Perfect for fishing kits, field use, or everyday carry in any weather.

Toughness Without Compromise

Most steels force a tradeoff between toughness and edge retention—but not MagnaCut. Its unique composition resists chipping, cracking, and rolling under stress. That makes it ideal for real-world use where durability matters just as much as sharpness.
