Magpul introduces general-purpose folding knife with MIM steel blade
Firearms manufacturer Magpul, based in Austin, Texas, USA, has introduced a new general-purpose knife featuring a metal injection molded steel blade. The Magpul Breslau’s blade is produced using the company’s proprietary MVN35 knife steel, reported to be functionally identical to the more commonly used CPM S35VN knife steel.

Leveraging its expertise in polymer injection molding from its firearms production, Magpul has adopted Metal Injection Molding to reduce the production costs of blade manufacturing. The Breslau’s 18.5 cm MVN35 blade is said to offer the same strength and corrosion resistance as CPM S35VN, while being cheaper and faster to produce.
“We’ve mastered the science and techniques of Injection Molding and made its science our art, our strength,” the company stated. “Plastic Injection Molding naturally expanded to Metal Injection Molding, where we’ve already been producing complex metal products like our MBUS Pro Back-Up Sight. MIM allows us to achieve designs, shapes and complex features that are both expensive and incredibly hard to implement with traditional manufacturing.”
The Magpul Breslau is available for pre-order from Blade HQ.
