Product Description
Made in Japan’s cutlery capital, Seki City, the MCUSTA M7 is small, sophisticated, and made from premium materials. It features a 2.75-inch blade made from 33-layered nickel Damascus with a core of VG-10 steel—a high-carbon-content steel manufactured in Japan Read More
Attractive knife for sure, but the scales don't really... fit the flow of the knife. Otherwise looks like a decent copy of the William Henry I've had for like 15 years. Same steel too. I like that they did some knurling on the liner to cut down on the flat side a bit, but wish the scales fit the shape a bit better somehow.
I'd likely get one if it had better steel, don't get me wrong, even though I already have the WH, just some comments.
Over-ConsumerExactly the same, except the liner has a line where it's split to make the lock bar. Or were you making a joke about the dearth of images?
The handle kills the Katana/Bushi design for you? Meaning there is too much handle for your taste, not that you dislike the the handles' texturing, which is meant to suggest a traditional Japanese wrapped sword handle?
That's funny because I'm just the opposite: a big selling point for me is that there's a lot of handle for the blade. I like a lot of handle on pretty much an knife, and again, the long handle is one of the features I really enjoy about the new-ish Boos Blade "Smoke" I picked up a cpl months back. The handle, like the overall knife design, is very thin. But it's also quite long and light, so it feels to me easy to manipulate and control.
Sounds like the model to keep an eye out for a good price on would be the small, rather than the large variety, the Tsuchi: https://www.bladehq.com/item--Mcusta-Tsuchi-Small-Knife-Stainless--29610 https://www.bladehq.com/item--Mcusta-Tsuchi-Damascus--6165Or even better, the frame-locking Nami--never seen this one in person, but I wish Mcusta had more frame lock models: https://www.bladehq.com/item--Mcusta-Small-Nami-Frame-Lock-Knife--25220
*Edit ...⬆️and a pocket clip!
HatuletohNo, the Katana handle I liked. Just the pattern on the Bushi is what I didn't like
Those Tsuchis look nice though.
And that Nami....if only it were titanium I could play with, instead of stainless.
And, yeah, a pocket clip....but they did it wrong. Tip down only 🤮 lol
Knife arrived quickly.
The hinge was terribly grainy out of the box and required cleaning and light oiling to operate smoothly.
The branded face of the blade has rough machine marring on it. The opposite face is smooth. The blade has a pretty sharp edge, did not need to be sharpened out of box. The edge was machine sharpened, not hand sharpened.
Very nice knife. Pockets well.
I bought one with the damascus handle ten years ago. It is no nice and cuts so well, I'm still hesitating about buying a "spare" one with an ebony handle.
LukasMThe numbers for this drop list 45 units with Cocobolo Wood and 15 units with Stamina Wood. On the description page it currently shows that 45 units have been purchased, but if you try to join the drop both wood types are listed as "sold out". That's about 15 units shy of the total that are supposed to be available, no?
