It is a hard surface layer that raises the hardness of the outside of the blade, cuts friction so the blade pulls through material easier, and adds another barrier against corrosion on top of what MagnaCut already gives you. It is a functional upgrade that happens to look good, which is the right order for those two things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall Fixed Blade, Real Reason\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed blade has no pivot, no lock, and nothing that can fail. The reason most people carry folders anyway is size. At 5.31 inches overall and under two ounces, the TAGALONG takes that objection away. It rides in a pocket or on a belt and you forget it is there until you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnaCut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnaCut gives you edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance without trading any of the three. On a small fixed blade, the corrosion resistance is the part that matters most, because this is the knife that goes in a pocket and gets used on whatever is in front of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout TRM Knives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRM, Three Rivers Manufacturing, builds in the USA and has built a reputation on giving people more knife than the price suggests.
