This Mcusta MC-1 series folding knife has a simple and elegant design. It has contoured finger grooves in the ebony wood handle, which provides both aesthetic appeal and a nice grip (the MC-1 has shallower grooves than the MC-2). The blade is hollow ground VG-10 steel with a satin finish. The pivot pin washer system makes the blade action silky smooth.
MCUSTA Knives are true masterpieces combining traditional Japanese elements and craftsmanship with modern cutting-edge technology to create a "user friendly" pocket knife that is beautiful, unique and functional.
Unlike most mass production knives which are die stamped each component of MCUSTA knives is laser cut for the ultimate in precision and fit. Every knife is then hand assembled and hand finished by an experienced craftsman. This process creates a superior knife at a reasonable price. MCUSTA stands for Machine Custom Knives!
