CPM MagnaCut

CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgical niobium-vanadium alloyed stainless tool steel.
Thanks to its special properties, MagnaCut is suitable for large blades (hunting knives) as well as for fine, thinly ground blades (kitchen knives).
Despite its low chromium content, this steel offers good corrosion resistance, as there are hardly any chromium carbides present (ideal chromium-carbon ratio). The nitrogen in this alloy further enhances this effect.
