All right!! I bought the +$12 ebony version, brand new in the box (which was the usual small, lame, unadorned thing; that's my only complaint with Mcusta, beautiful knife in a Wal-Mart type box) literally last week from a small merchant for $99.99. Seemed like a good deal but I had to make an on the spot decision w/o any background research, and this model was distinctly a lighter construction than my one other Mcusta, which admittedlydoes not have the hardwood adornments. Even still I was afraid I'd over paid. Glad to see I even beat the MD price. Is this drop a good discount? Im not very familiar w/ Mcusta prices and dont have time to peruse the knife websites right now.

HatuletohIt seems to be around $150 on Amazon, so probably decent. I'm still thinking about getting it, not sure though.

HatuletohIt's about 15-20 dollars cheaper than what Blade HQ was listing it on a "sale" price.

tyler256Ah, thank you, just what I was trying to do. Spotty internet around here.
Mcusta on Amazon is weird: the same knife can vary wildly in price depending upon the seller. Thats probably indicative of either not having or not strictly enforcing an MSRP with the corporate hegemony of a Spyderco or a Benchmade.
But it also means if you take the time to look through all the listings and find the lowest price, it is probably about as inexpensive as youre going to reasonably find, unless you encounter a one-off lucky find. I rember BladeHq announced a Mcusta sale last year; it amounted to less than a half dozen model types, and none were marked down more than 10-20%. Not terrible for a sale on name-brand knives, but nothing great like their 60% off Kizer sale. So if your hesitation is based on price, I say go for it. The lower one I found was a fluke from an inexpert seller; the first and probably last time I'll have that kind of luck.

HatuletohWho cares about the box. Send it in a paper envelope as far as I care. Nice boxes just cost more money but no real benefit - same with luxury watches.
