Tinted rows are where these two differ.

The steel difference

Bohler M390

The steel that defined the premium tier. Mirror-capable, extremely wear resistant, and unhappy about lateral loads.

CPM MagnaCut

The current answer to “why must I choose?” — near-tool-steel toughness with better corrosion resistance than S30V. The default recommendation for a hunting fixed blade that lives in a wet sheath.
