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.

I hate to admit it but it does not hold an edge very well. Same with their bearing steel blades. We have some of their kitchen knives which get used every day. I'm constantly sharpening them. Full disclosure, chopping veggies probably rolls the edges pretty quick. I like the balance of the knives I have though.
