Made in Japan’s cutlery capital, Seki City, The MCUSTA Tsuchi is equal parts aesthetics and functionality. The first thing that jumps out is its carefully crafted handle, made from natural wood with dimpling for a distinctly comfortable feel in the hand. Featuring a slight texture, the 2.75-inch blade is made from 33-layered nickel Damascus with a core of VG-10 steel—a high-carbon-content steel manufactured in Japan. The folder is equipped with dual thumb studs for both righties and lefties, and it locks in place with a liner lock. Also included is the decorative, woven Nishijin pouch for storage and convenient carry.
Note: Due to the sensitive nature of shipping knives internationally, we are able to ship only some of the knives on Massdrop to select countries. It is the responsibility of the buyer to know and comply with all importation regulations and local laws. Click here for additional information.
Since the mid-thirteenth century, Seki City has been the cutlery hub of Japan. Thanks to its close proximity to rich sources of iron sand, charcoal, and water, it was a natural choice for skilled craftsman of old, and remains so today. MCUSTA, located in Seki City, blends traditional artistry with modern technology. Each of its knives is laser cut, CNC machined, and assembled and finished by hand to ensure the utmost quality.
