SOLD 250mm MagnaCut+304 Stainless San-Mai Sabatier Styled Chef Knife

[MSicardCutlery]

Hello all,

As part of my (slow) ongoing experimentation with high alloy san-mai, I made a bilet of stainless clad MagnaCut earlier in the week. Right from the onset this blade was challenging to make, and even the grinding was no exception. It fought me all the way (at one point developing 2 warps 6mm deep each, and in opposite directions) and while the edge is nice and straight I must confess the spine is a little crooked. On top of that I didn't quite get the edge as thin as I originally intended and it's somewhat thicker in the middle than at the heel or tip. Because of all the warping the cladding isn't quite as even as it should be either. All in all though, it was a fun project and while I've got a few things to figure out for next time, I think the end result of this little experiment more than compensates for the difficulties I encountered along the way.

• Blade: 253mmx50mm 304SS clad MagnaCut (63 hrc) 320 grit finish
• Neck: 19mmx17mm
• Handle: 133mm long, 23mm x 26mm tapering to 20mm x 22mm, curly maple, oil finished and waxed
• POB: 50mm from the handle
• Spine: 3.63mm at the handle, 2.62mm at halfway, .69mm 1cm from the tip
• Grind: flat to convex RH bias
• Weight: 184g
• Relieved choil and spine
• Edge: .29mm@1mm, .43mm@2mm, .69mm@5mm, .93mm@10mm from the edge, measured at the midpoint,

Asking $500 U.S + shipping. As always, if this blade is purchased in conjunction with another I will happily deduct $25 off of the price of the other blade.

Thanks for looking!

The more I look at this knife, the more it bugs me.

Dropping to the same price as a monosteel in MagnaCut the same size -$400 U.S+shipping

If only it was a mono... then you'd have something pretty damn close to a Masamoto KS in magnacut... That does sound mighty appealing.

My honeymoon was short with this one. I figured out how to eliminate the warping and make much much cleaner cladding lines not long after.

So are more on the way?

At some point, probably, but they'll probably be in the $700+ range. With high alloy san mai, so much of the time is in forging and annealing that the differences in material costs are basically negligible. Whether I'm using MC or 10v or S90V, so there's a pretty good chance if I do any MC san mai in the future it will be suminagashi.
