Dale Howe, Howe Mountain Knives has crafted numerous knives for me. The latest is of Magnacut. He sez' Magnacut is the Schizzz. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/sB4rn6J.png) Magnacut @ 63-64 RC. Weathered elk scales (rough enough to give a non-slip grip) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/KDmSBO2.png) I like it! I suggested he call it an Upswept Hunter or a Sharpfinger Magnum! ya! GWB

Dale makes a nice knife. I picked up a Huntsman a while ago and it is a great knife for taking apart a deer. Honestly the blade just goes where you want it to, not all knives do that. Would like one of his Wyoming Skinners and a Catfish fillet someday.

That is a badazz Sharpfinger. I am looking forward to hearing the effect dirty hog hair and hide have on it. Your porkers look like they give a knife a helluva workout!

If his magnacut is as good as his elmax, it'll be awesome..... ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/c124/huntsman22/tools/IMG_3779_zpseb3c8060.jpg)

Mine’s in Elmax, too. Is Dale back to making knives?

Hey guys,
Thanks for the good comments. Geedubya usually has a pretty good vision for a knife. We had discussed a couple of long term projects over the years and I needed to catch up on a couple that I've owed him for quite a while. From what I've seen so far, Magnacut is really in a class of its own. Larrin definitely knew what he was doing when he developed magnacut. Its the first steel I've found which I believe truly replaces and improves on the qualities of Elmax. I'll still be doing a lot with 154 and occasionally A2, but Magnacut is truly amazing.
I've started to make a couple of knives here and there and am finally getting the shop going here in Wyoming. I'm not taking any orders, but will hopefully have a few available here and there in the future.
Dale

It certainly favors the classic sharp finger. A softened, larger version. I dig it.
Nice blade.

It's nearly identical in design to the HFB Featherlight and matching customized Hogue Deka in magnacut I tested on my first round of culling in Scotland this last month. So far totally impressed! Next round coming...
