Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?

Oh really? Yes really, and time will tell after a few years of people repeating this same complaint. I'm not saying this as an opinion, it happens all the time and many steels have been branded with different BS issues like being brittle or chip prone and it doesn't matter how many people DONT have...

We're still refining the heat treat on MagnaCut. It's sensitive to different heat treatment. We'd like to get it down before exporting the steel. Eventually, assuming the market likes it, we'll move the steel all over.

Thanks for the update Sal, appreciate the transparency.

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?

Remember who's in charge, now. Remember this is the era of McD's getting successfully sued for many millions because the hot coffee was hot. If Spyderco told everything, somebody would definitely find a way to use it against them and sue. It would also give their competitors an unfair advantage bec...

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?

Don't hold your breath on seeing this anytime soon, continued production issues with this relatively new unproven steel in a folder format, is concerning. Without a proper source we cannot take your affirmation at face value. Please do not spread unverified rumours. I guess you haven't been followi...

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?

With the factory production schedule as full as it is (seems to be over 100% full) any product with issues is going to get pushed back in the queue. So while it may or may not be a major issue, it will still have to get moved back so that other products can get produced. I hear you, and maybe if we...

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?

And yes, whether you like it or not, TrippeB knows. Knows what exactly? If he knows anything about why Magnacut has been delayed in this mass production folder going on 9 months, I sure haven't seen him share any insider details on the subject. Both he and yourself sound like all the rest of the Sp...

Re: Native 5 salt is Magnacut?

Don't be a troll, if you don't know something, stay in your lane. First off, you aren't anyone worthy enough to tell me whether to stay or go anywhere. Secondly, it's exactly the lack of transparency and detailed updates, that is the reason nobody knows anything about why mass production Magnacut h...

Re: Spyderco 2022 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

Spyderco is just replacing LC200N with MagnaCut in the Native5 Salt and keeping the same part numbers. At this rate it won't be until 2023 until we see any though apparently. I hope there aren't issues with this new steel not performing as hoped in such a small format knife. I think Magnacut still ...

Re: Spyderco 2022 Lists: Delivered & Upcoming

So far still there, if the micarta cruwear pm2 wasn't readily available I'd jump on this. I don't have any cruwear, but I think I actually like the micarta better than purple. I thought really hard about it for about 10 minutes though when it dropped, just for the excitement of it! While the crucar...

I wonder if this is a restock or residual inventory.
It says "Ship date 03/18/2022" on the product page, so I'd imagine it's a new run?

Manix 2 G10 in K390

Hard to believe this combo hasn't gotten done yet. One of the better tool steels and also relatively cheap, along with one of the most popular beefy models (sorry don't really care for the lightweight). Hopefully some retailer is working on it?
