8" Chef and 6" Petty Set - MagnaCut

$700.00

8” Chef and 6.1” Petty with MagnaCut Steel and Bocote Handles . Basswood sayas included for both knives.

I intended this set to be complementary. The Chef features a thick convex grind to act as somewhat of a workhorse but has a nice distal taper so towards the tip it can be used for more delicate tasks. The Petty is nice and thin for more precision cutting.

Both of these knives feature 62.5 HRC MagnaCut, which has excellent edge retention and toughness while providing maximum corrosion resistance. It holds a beautiful edge and should stay sharp for a long time with good sharpening technique.

More information on MagnaCut:

MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel which has high edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It contains vanadium and niobium which form carbides to allow edge retention and toughness simultaneously, two properties that are typically inversely corellated. I choose to heat treat my MagnaCut to 62-63 HRC to maximize the toughness and the hardness of my blades. Since the edge retention mainly comes from the carbides, lowering the hardness from 64 HRC+ to 62.5 doesn’t effect the edge retention too much, but improves the toughness significantly. This results in an extremely balanced blade that can keep its edge for a very long time while also being resistant to chipping.
