I recently noticed that my Spyderco Tenacious has been magnetized. I picked it up off a desk and was surprised to see a coin stuck to it!

I'm no expert, but I'd have to guess that it has something to do with static electricity.

I doubt the effect will last very long, but I thought it interesting, so here's a video of me sticking some dimes and a nickel to my knife. Enjoy!

Update: Still magnetic. 8Cr13MoV must have magnetic properties...This is just begging to be modified with magnets.

  • Maybe you're coins are magnetic and not the knife. has that occured to you? :-P

  • @DonnieCallister It did not. I acknowledge the possibility.

    Thank you for pointing out my shortsightedness

  • That happened to my spyderco byrd cara cara.

  • @ghettopunx Hmm, perhaps it's the steel.

    The Cara Cara uses 8Cr13MoV as well, doesn't it?

    It could have magnetic tendencies...

  • The friction created the magnetism. Did you sharpen the knife not long ago?

  • @newhuskytwenty I didn't, no.

    I never found out what caused the magnetization.

  • @ATCKDFND Yea, it does. That might be it.

  • @ATCKDFND Ok, I believe you. Out of curiosity I stuck a flat magnet on one side of my Byrd Meadowlark 8Cr10MoV same steel as yours. I tried to use the same coin as yours but it was hard to see what it was. I used a Canada 25 cent coin since none of my U.S. change would not stick to a magnet to begin with. The 25 cent coin did not stick to the blade with the magnet behind it. You have a very freakish knife man!

  • @freecuz I wasn't holding a magnet on the other side, but I guess that's a valid point - I didn't show the other side.

    That being said, I have no reason to lie: the fact that it was magnetized didn't change performance in any way.

  • Maybe he's holding a magnet on the other side of the knife? He doesn't show the other side. Come on guys.
