Katana Gold:
A tiny and beautiful forged Katana that EDCs well. This is no gimick either but a beautifully crafted Seki City blade: the striking and beautiful Mcusta Katana MC-4 knife. Of immediate visual interest for me is the dark navy blue satin finished forged T6 handles scales that feature contrasting anodized milled grooves, mimicking the Katana handle accurately. It is simple and yet function CNC milling at its best. The shape is also oriental, invoking thoughts of its Seki City Japan origin. This visual interest here is high; well-executed. The 3.25″ tanto blade deploys smooth and fast on the Mcusta nylon bearing system. I remain impressed with its simplicity and precision (blade centering is perfect, good detent retention). Steel provides function and style at once; a layered almost damascus VG-10 steel arrives insanely sharp with a perfect relief edge. It too bespeaks of the Katana blade and its gradual tanto shape will provide cutting precision. Be careful with the tip…you can’t have everything here. VG-10 again is a wise choice and on par for the region. Lockup and strength in this 3.4 oz lockback is surprising. It shows no weakness. Ergos with the duel blade stopping thumbstuds and overall feel in hand are excellent. The handling milling provides improved traction but the lack of jimping and guard might limit serious and planned self defense employment. Function is here for sure but this Mcusta is delivering a style show. Close inspection will show attention to detail that seems like it should command higher prices in the knife world: kind of like the color coordinated and big lanyard hole. The clip is excellent and even provides pivot screw access. It is loop over and carries deep; tip down here to preserve visual design elements. Value in the MC-4 Katana is excellent and even surpasses many Spyderco blades in specialness. At around $125 the Katana is worth it and you might even be surprised it doesn’t cost more. You may have a hard time integrating this one into your EDC system however. A blade this beautiful seems to be destined as a collectible. But if you made the jump and used care with the delicate tip you might find its not all about looks with the Mcusta Katana.//////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 10 out of 10/////////////////// Get it for LESS at: (it will post soon)
