I Sharpened MagnaMax for the FIRST Time! Here's What Happened
Published: 2 weeks ago
???? Welcome to JuhVon's Knife Flicks, your go to spot for honest knife reviews, EDC picks, and budget blade finds from a guy who actually carries and uses this stuff!
Today I'm sharpening MagnaMax for the very first time, and honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect! This is the Creeley Blades Minnow in MagnaMax, heat treated to approximately 63 HRC, and after seeing how well this steel performed during my previous cardboard cutting tests, I wanted to find out just how difficult it would be to put a fresh edge on it.
I'm using my TSProf sharpening system along with Alpha bonded resin diamond stones and working through several progressions to establish, refine, hone, and finish the edge at approximately 20 degrees per side. Going into this sharpening session, I expected MagnaMax to be significantly more difficult to grind than MagnaCut, but the results might surprise you!
In this video, I talk through burr formation, scratch patterns, edge refinement, stone progression, and my sharpening process while putting MagnaMax through its first sharpening session. Stick around to see how this high-performance steel responds and whether we can bring the Creeley Blades Minnow back to scary sharp!
