Maxamet is an incredible steel with Rockwell Hardness test results only being surpassed by the indomitable REX 121.  Maxamet develops a gorgeous patina over time, but it is important to note that this steel is easily affected by rust and oxidation from water.  If you treat this baby right, it will treat you even better for literally thousands upon thousands of cuts without needing to be re-sharpened whatsoever.  The edge retention on Maxamet is literally off the charts!

We are proud to carry the Paramilitary 2, Paramilitary 3, and Native 5 in Maxamet here at Up North!

Carpenter® steel’s state-of-the-art Micro-Melt® Maxamet blade steel.

Maxamet is an extremely hard high-speed powdered tool steel possessing properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approach those of cemented carbides—the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. When Carpenter developed this amazing alloy for the rollers in their steel mills, they sent samples to various companies in the knife industry to evaluate as a blade material. Although many tried, Spyderco was one of only a handful of companies to successfully develop the specialized methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this demanding material to yield reliable, high-performance knife blades. We are now proud to offer it in selected models made in our U.S. factory in Golden, Colorado.

Carpenter® Technology Corporation developed Micro-Melt® Maxamet® specifically for use in the rollers of their state-of-the-art steel mills. This remarkable alloy possesses properties that transcend conventional high-speed tool steels and approach those of cemented carbides, the ultra-hard materials used to machine other steels. As one of only a handful of companies to master the specialized methods necessary to machine, heat treat, and grind this exotic alloy, Spyderco is extremely proud to offer it in some of our elite American-made products.
