Hi Folks! Hope I am doing this right, if I'm not, I'm sure someone will tell me. I go by veronajack (loong story), but my name is BJ Clay. I am older, a 28-yr, fully disabled, USAF veteran. And I like to get into trouble, you know, by collecting things. I am already an avid folding knife collector and now I have turned my attention to Japanese knives. I have been into this only about 2 weeks, and already have bought: 2 Kohetsu Hap40's-a kirisutke and a nakiri; a Kei Kobayashi petty knife; a Hatsukokoro Hap40 petty knife; a Hasegawa cutting board; a new knife block; and various Japanese sharpening plates to maintain these new knives. I never do things halfway, much to the intense dismay of my 5 daughters. As you may detect, I am not a traditionalist, I believe in the new supersteels-just think, what if the Japanese got ahold of magnacut? I digress, this does not prevent me from wanting a kickass Aogami superblue laserbeam. I have already received the Kobayashi; OH MY GOSH! That is Easily the sharpest knife I have ever touched! I like to cook, and the thought of using that knife every day just makes me smile. I hope this is sufficient. I already see you have massdrops, I don't ever seem to move quickly enough to get in those things, but that won't stop me trying! I appreciate finding this community, and hope to be able to learn more about the fascinating world of kitchen knives. Your brother in knives, BJ Clay.

Welcome to the forum BJ. You came to the right place 
Welcome. I'm a much older USAF veteran.
Several makers are already producing knives in Magnacut.

You did't quite understand me. I AM a much older vet. I was 28 years IN the USAF. Can you tell me who is making knives in Magnacut?
Gotchya.
As for Magnacut, it's western makers right now. We have two makers right here on KKF actively using it. @MSicardCutlery and @Illyria are both using it. Devon Thomas, father of the steel's inventor is also using it and I know that I've seen many other names but you'd have to ask the much more educated KKF bunch. Start a thread in the Kitchen Knife sub-forum and I bet you'll get some real good answers.
