CPM MagnaCut - the next generation steel in the Benchmade 18040S Undercurrent knife
The Benchmade knife has a sheepsfoot blade Sheepsfoot with a length of 110 mm, made of super steel CPM MagnaCut manufactured using powder technology. The main difference between CPM MagnaCut steel and other stainless steels is the amount of chromium. The elimination of chromium carbides from the steel's composition has resulted in a fine microstructure, making CPM MagnaCut much easier to sharpen compared to steels with similar wear resistance.
CPM MagnaCut combines the strength of CPM-4V, the corrosion resistance of CPM-20CV, the retention of CPM-CruWear/ CPM-4V, and an impressive hardness of up to 62 HRC, making it now considered one of the best steels in the world for use in factory-made knives.
The blade has a Stonewashed matte finish (abrasive stone bath), which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions on the blade caused by use.
The handle on the Benchmade 18040S knife is made of Santoprene material in deep blue. This fully hygienic rubber-textured material prevents the knife from slipping out of your hand and ensures safe operation even with a wet or dirty hand.
In the back of the handle there is a hole designed for attaching a rope or paracord, with which you can secure the knife from accidental loss, being, for example, on a boat.
To carry the knife safely, there is a injection-molded sheath made of thermoplastic material with high resistance to damage, temperature and moisture. The sheath features a thumb-release button that prevents the knife from slipping out and falling out.
Benchmade 18040S Undercurrent knife will certainly be of interest to those actively spending time on the water, who want to have at hand a high-quality cutting tool adapted to the harsh conditions of the water environment.
