MagnaMax is one of Crucible's newer steels, built to push edge retention past MagnaCut while keeping the corrosion resistance that makes a steel worth carrying in the first place. On a hollow ground blade this thin, that extra edge life is exactly where you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Little Dixon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcNees scaled the Dixon down and in doing so landed almost exactly on the size of the custom that started the line. It keeps everything the 3.75 inch version has, including the High Performance Hollow Grind, in a package that carries where the bigger one starts to feel like a lot of knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDragonscale Milling and Atomic Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDragonscale is the milling pattern, overlapping scales cut into the titanium on both the show side and the lock side. It gives the handle grip and it catches light differently as you turn it. Atomic is McNees' own finish, applied in house, and blue into bronze is the sharpest contrast they run it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Hollow Grind\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe High Performance Hollow Grind is the reason people talk about these. A hollow grind thins the blade out behind the edge more aggressively than a flat grind does, so it slices well above what a 3.25 inch blade should. McNees grinds every one in house rather than farming it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout McNees\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJonathan McNees started making knives in 2008 on a self built grinder run off an extension cord from the house. It is a veteran owned family business now, with his wife Amy on the business side, and all the pattern milling is done in his own shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue over bronze is the Atomic pairing people ask for by name.
