EDC FolderFolding

WE's titanium build of the Elementum shape arrived in CPM MagnaCut in August 2026: a 2.96" flat-ground drop point in a 6Al4V frame lock at 2.39 oz. It closes to 4.02" and lists at $217.60, against $207 for the CPM-20CV version. Civivi sells the same outline in cheaper materials for less than half the price.

Why a drop point

The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.

About 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.

1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All CPM MagnaCut knives
