SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mcusta MC-12 Tactility Elite Damascus Folding Knife with Ironwood handle blends precision craftsmanship, rugged performance, and striking aesthetics into a refined everyday carry. Built in Seki, Japan, where centuries of blade-making tradition meet modern innovation, this folder is a standout in both form and function. Whether you're in the field or adding to a curated collection, it’s made to deliver reliability and beauty in equal measure.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.68-inch VG-10 core Damascus steel blade, shaped in a versatile clip point profile and hand-finished for a clean, polished look. The layered Damascus construction not only enhances edge retention and strength, but also gives the blade a distinct pattern that speaks to its handcrafted origins. It opens smoothly via a thumb stud, offering quick one-handed deployment, while a sturdy linerlock mechanism keeps it securely in place during use.
The handle is made from rich red Ironwood, known for its density, durability, and bold natural grain. It provides a solid, comfortable grip and adds a warm contrast to the layered steel blade. Designed with stainless steel liners for internal strength, the knife still maintains a slim profile when closed. Measuring 4.5 inches closed, it fits easily in the pocket and rides comfortably thanks to the tip-up pocket clip. Its ambidextrous design ensures it’s ready for left or right hand carry without compromise.
This is a knife built for those who appreciate function as much as form. From its hand-finished Damascus blade to its elegant Ironwood handle, every detail of the MC-12 Tactility Elite reflects Mcusta’s dedication to quality and performance. Order it today from SMKW!
