  • Nonsense

Gary Creely, Creely Blades: The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 663)
Q: What are your plans for product diversification and scaling production while maintaining quality?
Gary outlined shifting some models to PG-series, exploring MagnaCut, MagnaMax, and ABL for cost efficiency, and aiming to run a small team with in-house grinding and finishing to reach higher production while keeping quality high.

Q: What makes MagnaCut appealing to you as a maker, and how do you approach heat treat and geometry?

Q: How did your lifelong love for knives evolve into a professional focus on high-performance blades?
