MCU185D: MC-185D Uesugi Kenshin Folding Knife

Mcusta Knives

The Mcusta Sengoku Busho series celebrates Japan's most famous Samurai from the Sengoku Jidia ("Age of Warring States.") These elegantly crafted knives show the beauty and history of Japanese culture while combining traditional elements into a sturdy and functional folding knife.

Kenshin Uesugi (1530-1578) was one of the most powerful Sengoku Daimyos of the Sengoku period. He is famed for his honorable conduct, his military expertise, and long-standing rivalry with Shingen Takeda. He was called "God of War." The handle is designed with the pattern of samurai armor and laser engraved with "Gun-Shin-Kenshin-Uesugi" in Kanji and his family crest (Kamon).

Mcusta does not use the conventional method of die stamping their blades like most mass-produced knives. Components are laser cut and C&C machined to assure the best possible precision fit. This is an important step in the production of a superior blade. Each knife is then hand assembled and hand finished and inspected by Mcusta's team of craftsmen. This process creates a superior knife at a reasonable price.

Made in Seki, Japan, Mcusta combines modern technology with traditional Japanese craftsmanship to produce hand finished custom quality production knives. This knife features a 33 layer 3.62” Damascus stainless steel blade with VG-10 core and white micarta handle with stainless steel liners and pocket clip.

Well made & beautiful
A high quality knife. It is a little heavy & has no pocket clip but you know that going in, right? Very smooth action, beautiful blade from a knife company with a history of quality work. I plan to purchase more!

I usually prefer a lighter weight edc and a pocket clip. Finally I, because the blade is that beautiful spg-2 steel, I really don't want to hurt it. Like it's fragile? So, I don't carry it to work.I don't know how I wound up at Mcusta, I really don't..?My favorite knives are Spyderco Shaman, MKM Belone, Kizer Genie, Benchmade Griptillian. Shaman is hella useful. Belone has gobs of style. Genie is light and quick. Griptillian is..well the grip. The Mcusta has a different style and feel. I have a bad thumb, giving me pain in some actions. So, I applied a medium-fine abrasive to the micarta (?) to open the recess to the thumb hole, softened some corners, and the 'crests' of the wavy texture. There was plenty. Now deployment and overall is more comfortable for me and I stopped before losing the cool engravings. The action is smoother than any other knife I own. Bear in mind that I don't spend over $300 on a knife so I don't know what $900 gets you. Detents are there. It won't open up in your pocket and you must be deliberately slow to notice it either side of lock-up.Lock-up is solid. Centering is excellent. Disassembly with the small screws is unfortunate. Your driver must fit well and push hard to defeat the thread locker or you'll be sorry. Mcusta is a small family business inherited by the scion and my impression is he has not made great changes in how things were done. It's kind of old school post war Japanese business model. There are no slick western marketing practices, only polite invitations like: "Please hurry, only 13 left in stock". Mcusta is a contraction of machine custom. Quaint. I want another in their line-up but I don't spend $375 on a pocket knife. I am proud to own this knife.
