Dr. Larrin Thomas is an awesome metallurgist. You have to read about how MagnaCut was developed on knife nerds. Tim Reeve is a game-changer for Chris Reeve knives and will take his dad's company to the next level.
Isn’t he the guy from knife steel nerds?

I was quite pleased when they went from CPM 4V to Magnacut for their fixed blades. I recently got my hands on a Chris Reeves Green Beret in CPM Magnacut and it's so fricken sweet! Theres like a 5 year waiting list on the Green Beret atm which is a long time!
As a longtime CRK user, I’m always touched by the kind nature Tim shows in interviews.
Love that he loves Pro-Tech. My two favorite knife manufacturers.
I have many knives but hold Chris Reeve at the very pinnacle of my collection and have multiple versions of almost every folder they offer. The reasons for my favoring of Chris Reeve are as follows - wonderfully nice people - spa treatment so your knives are new forever - the washers are so large, no knife is even close to the solidity - always perfect blade alignment and construction - always perfect lock up - extremely minimalist clean lines - S35 and S45 are not the latest and greatest but are both outstanding in all categories - their blades are thin behind the edge for almost a half inch up the blade which means you can sharpen them for decades and decades (so many knives get very thick and have very limited live span) - I love titanium - they don’t make 800 different styles (I like tradition and really don’t need 42,000 different versions of a knife) - although their knives are almost always sold out, when they drop, you can actually buy one if you act quick - I’m not a fidget person so the action is perfect for me and lastly, these are wonderfully nice people, a small dedicated family that will always be there for you and they are 100% made in the USA. So, I own many knives but I love Chris Reeve and carry my trusty Inkosi every single day (kind of a shame all of my 21’s, 31’s, Umnumzaan’s and Mnandi’s are safe queens but I buy multiple versions to support them and now with Magnacut on the horizon, I can buy every Chris’s Reeve all over again)😊
Tim is an awesome guy. I was able to tour their shop a little over a year ago.
Just got my final Chris Reeve Inkosi! 🖤
Got my first Chris Reeve Large Sebenza 21 four years ago and never looked back. I also love the fact that he's wearing a Carhartt shirt.
One of these days I gotta get one. Like the engraved ones. Thanks
Yo! BSIV, this is a great bit you guys did with Tim Reeve. He gave a great interview, very informative and friendly. I am rather new to the knife community and own a recent Umnumzaan with S45 VN Tanto which I absolutely love. Thanks for this share BSIV, keep 'em coming.
Great video 📹 👍 you two. Thanks so much.

Is it weird that i basically (semi-subconsciously) price everything in units of Glock 19?
Love those knives... But at 1 to 1.5 G19s its really hard to justify.
Buying a Glock, (Plastic Fantastic) is hard to justify when there are fine guns available.
KnifeMaker
Those hallow grinds.......🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice interview guys!
Thank you! It was fun
I enjoyed that, thanks.
Only once I saw a Chris Reeves knife , and...... I picked it up,that was a mile stone.
Ok guys,take care.
I own a lg sebena 31 magnacut black macarta... incredible knife
I live in Puerto Rico about a football field away from the ocean I can’t wait for the magnacut I’ve got a small sebenza in S35 and a umnumzaan in s45 but I just put in an order or a large 31 in magnacut can’t wait 😜
Few days ago I got a Sebenza 31 S45VN , a definite upgrade in steel , terrific ! ☺
Ordered my first CRK Today - Sebenza 31 black micarta hope it’s as nice as this one.
I have yet to get a Chris Reeve knife!!! I want one so bad!
Wow that’s cool great video guy’s
Me too. Got my first CR knife and l chose a plain, large lnkosi. My fricken thumb is killing me but its finally smoothed out.
I detest the thumb stud. If I ever get one I’m ditching it and drilling a spydiehole in it.
To you use it?
@@jagpilotohio haha but you won't get the warranty
@@Phaminator525 Probably so…..but I’d enjoy using it more.
@@jagpilotohio I definitely agree the thumbstuds aren't the best but I'd rather replace it with benchmade thumbstuds than spydiehole. I just think spydiehole looks kind of ugly.
Nice guy... Good Convo... Wish I could afford their stuff... Lol.
Haha they ain’t cheap 😝
Cool that he doesn't mind mentioning other brands, much more carrying one that's not theirs.. 👍👍👍
Scott Cook name check! Didn't know he used to be a CRK employee. Would love to handle a locsha one day
Love Chris Reeve's Knives! and I love Micarta and have for many-Many years. But I could never buy a micarta inlayed knife from them. Why?
My mentor was the man who popularized Micarta for knives years ago. His name was Loveless. In the shop we were discussing the Loveless favorite ( and Mine), Green Canvases and his #2 Black followed by Burgundy. I remarked that our micartas looked different in patterns. Up until then, nether of us had noticed that the pattern was different if cut 90 deg. different from the sheet. They Bob Loveless and Jim Merit had for many years bought from a company that pre-cut the micarta in strips in one direction only. (Angus-Campbell iirc), while I had been cutting my own. When we compared them side by side, the difference was striking!
This brings me to the way CR does it. It is cut across the end grain at the end of the stick or sheet. Not the flat, but the very end. the is the ugliest, and sadly, weakest way to apply Micarta.
Imagine building a beautiful log cabin, and rather than the log's showing their beautiful grain, or a building built with 4x6's only showing the end grain. Only seeing the ends of log's would be a total let down. It would destroy both the beauty and strength of the building. The only reason I can imagine they would do this is the thin strips of end grain, (Which any other shop would consider scrap, or drop as we call it), is it dead cheap to use rather wasting material by actually cutting out the shapes from the hole sheet or supplied strips. Just cutting the end off of a strip equals very little waste. And it shows as a cost cutting strategy that really cheapens the appearance in what is supposed to be a no hold barred top tier production knife.
It totally cheapens the knife both aesthetically and functionally as well.

Nice video but you interrupted Tim many times whilst he was speaking. I've been working on this as well.
I wish more of knife manufacturers would start inputing more of how easy/hard it is to sharpen. Toughness, Corrosion & Edge are obviously important but please start adding ease of sharpening.
I don't like D2 either Frankie. But Chris Reeve has some cool knives.
Finally a reason to upgrade from my edc large 21 Sebenza.
They have a new finish that’s more pocket friendly and can be done via the spa day service they offer. They have some limitations when it comes to the wood inlays because of the process. Email their CS for more information.
Chances are if they do magnacut it’ll be done properly.
Thank you for the awesome interview.
Yeah I absolutely love the glass blasted finish.
The man knows his stuff!
He’s fun to talk to 👍
Joe flowers said on IG live he wants a magnacut machete
Nice!
We talked with Joe a bunch today 👍👍
now i need a large magnacut sebenza to compliment my small s45, XD
Hearing all these steel talk, i am wondering whether we know the composition of the steel for aircraft carrier top deck. We know it got to be salt proof, need to be super tough and hard since tones of steel fighter jets take off and land on it... anyone?
Might be interesting to know 👍👍
i miss the shot show
It’s fun. This one was more casual than other years. It was fun 👍
See, I'm wondering if they'll actually heat treat this steel, unlike what they did with s35 and s45.
You gotta be named Reeve to use a CRK as a screwdriver.
😆 😆
Paid $275 for my first Sebenza, and still have my Umnumzan 09, I think I paid $350?
Well, hello there. **toddle toddle toddle**

Where the hell you two been!
Hey Steve 👋
I had not seen you two in home town at the park really like both of ya! Hope to see more. Who knows, I might have a Dr. Appointment and take a break at a park and run into ya. Perhaps play with a few knives .
No Maxamet is on the other end of the spectrum in terms of corrosion. Maxamet will patina from hand oils. As Tim was explaining normally the triangle of toughness, corrosion, and edge retention is a scalene triangle and with Magnacut you are getting closer to a equilateral triangle.
My current grail knife brand... 😔 Soon!
Understand completely 👍
@@BirdShotIV love your videos BTW. If I'd stop buying all the knives you guys show off, I could get a CRK...
I have tremendous respect for the work Tim does, but he is totally talking out of his ass with that zeus clip story lol.
Hey
1st 🥇
Says a lot of s conservative house like CRK is switching strait away. Although I hate having a dull knife more than I hate cleaning knives.
One of the greatest knife makers in our time and you're talking over him.
Hello
2nd 🥈
Didn't AllOutdoor break his green beret with ease?
Maxamet is nothing like Magnacut. Maxamet takes edge retention to the max (forgive the pun) and sacrifices corrosion resistance and some toughness in that pursuit. It’s EXTREMELY susceptible to corrosion, but is usually run EXTREMELY hard as well..
Are you serious 😐... "all by hand" did she think that he believed she draws bird pictures with her feet? Damn.
Ol reeves lost his sales woody right about here 5:10
You two are way too intense
sorry 🤷♂️ 🤷♀️
Maxamet and magnacut are NOTHING SIMILAR. the designs/use profiles are totally different from one another. Maxamet will kill magnacut in edge retention but magnacut will be FAR FAR FAR tougher and of course corrosion resistance. Maxamet was designed for one thing and one thing only and that's to have insane edge retention and edge retention is prioritized over everything else with it.
390 is still the best
Reeves knives are waaayyyy over priced
Thanks for commenting
390 is rust magnet garbage.
@@miked6367 390 is rust resistant actually.
@@aaronl8609 Hardly mate, I've used it for years.
kind of a weird icky dude to be honest.
He’s a shop manufacturer engineer type, dudes are raw. And helpful to be around in everyday life 👍
Our first time meeting someone in the Reeve family and guy knows his shit.
He seems pretty cool to me.
I thought he was humble, patient, and genuine. I'm curious what you meant by "weird icky."
@@joek9962 im curious what you think it might mean? thanks
@@quickcuts3000 Can't say because they're not my words.
Imagine, just imagine losing the company that has your own fucking name on it to your goddamn ex wife in the dovorce..
