MKC fails to meet advertised Magnacut hardness?

[Bratch]

I was looking into them too. They sure do a great job advertising. White River Knives M1 Pro in Magnacut looks interesting. These knives get expensive though haha. Right now I’m just using the $15 Cold Steel CBK

I’m a big fan of all the White River Knives. I ran a pair of S35 M1s a couple years ago and was very pleased.

Get a Dixie Zipper. I bought one like it from the man himself for $150ish before him and @hereinaz finalized the Dixie Zipper and took it to Alaska with me. Broke down a moose solo for seven hours and didn’t need to sharpen it. Very impressive knife.

While I like MKC for the backstory of an American company doing cool shit, there are plenty of makers around you can get better for less. Especially not having a fugly bolt-on handle.

I threw the G10 garbage in the trash and rehandled mine. Now they look like the price they charge.

I don’t call that great.
Does Exo pay influencers,unknown?if they do it’s so few you don’t even realize it.
They don’t need to.
It’s a huge red flag to me that there products are subpar and possibly even a shady company.

I have an MKC MagnaCut blade and so far the edge retention has been what’s impressed me the most. A few seasons and several critters later I still haven’t found the need to sharpen it, still shaves hair off my forearm.

I fell into the BS hype and bought 2. They suck, didnt come very sharp and dulled easily. Rusted overnight drying on my counter.

I like the speedgoats weight and blade shape just not happy with quality. Wouldn't buy or use another.

Someone should make the speedgoat with better steel and I'd buy a couple.

I too fell for the hype and bought one, have not been impressed with the edge retention. Other far cheaper knives hold an edge much better.

I didn’t fall for the hype. I bought a Chinese knockoff from Amazon for one 10th of the price. Sounds like I might have better edge retention lol.

Carbon steel never leave wet....

Sounds like a classic scaling issue. Hopefully they own this and correct it.
