With our release of the CRUSADER blade in 2024, we usher in a new era of TIER ONE product development with our choice of MAGNACUT STEEL for this new blade offering! What makes this steel so special, and why was it our top choice for the CRUSADER?
THE TIER-ONE CHOICE:
Launched in 2021 and developed by metallurgist Dr. Larrin Thomas, MAGNACUT steel is newer to the market than many other steel alloys, and has rapidly risen to the top of its class as the premier blade material available today. Its exceptional qualities are achieved through a finely balanced blend of elements which are combined through the process of Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM), evenly distributing carbides and resulting in a steel with the exceptional and unique properties that are enumerated below.
EXCEPTIONAL TOUGHNESS:
Every piece of gear Dom designs at CRUSH EVERYTHING must meet the necessary standard that a Tier-One Operator could bet their life on its performance, even under the harshest and most chaotic conditions. MAGNACUT steel is an optimal choice for us because it scores exceptionally high on both hardness and toughness levels, protecting against chipping and breaking even under extreme circumstances and providing the best option for extreme endurance currently available.
ENDURING PRECISION:
In the field and during deployments, a blade must retain its edge even when sharpening is not available. MAGNACUT steel provides a fine internal grain structure and optimized carbide content which help retain a precision edge with far greater durability than many other steels on the market today.
CORROSION RESISTANCE:
Keeping Dom’s Frogman heritage at heart, and knowing how many professionals in maritime environments are relying upon CRUSH EVERYTHING gear every day, it is critical to us that we craft blades which can stand up to saltwater and resist corrosion. MAGNACUT steel performs exceptionally well in salty, humid, and wet conditions, minimizing the risk of rusting and corrosion.
RAZOR SHARP EDGE:
Due to its fine microstructure, MAGNACUT steel is a favorite for creating exceptionally sharp and smooth edges that retain functionality and precision over time.
EASE OF SHARPENING:
Surprisingly, although MAGNACUT steel boasts exceptional hardness and strength, specialized equipment is not required for sharpening – a benefit that is appreciated by many who prefer to perform their own blade maintenance.
Overall, MAGNACUT steel is an ideal choice for blade precision and endurance, which is why it has become a favorite material of ours here at CRUSH EVERYTHING – you get what you pay for when it comes to steel, and MAGNACUT provides incredible longevity for its price. We know that you trust us our gear with your life, and it is our #1 mission to build blades that won’t let you down in the heat of the moment. Plan on seeing more offerings from us utilizing MAGNACUT steel in the near future!
