SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mcusta MC-12 Tactility Elite San Mai Folding Knife in Black Micarta stands as a refined fusion of high-performance steel and timeless design. Crafted in Seki, Japan—a city renowned for centuries of expert blade-making—this folding knife represents the pinnacle of Mcusta’s modern interpretation of traditional craftsmanship. It’s made for those who demand precision cutting ability in a sleek, pocket-friendly profile.
At its core is a 3.68-inch SPG2 San Mai stainless steel blade, shaped in a reliable clip point profile. SPG2 is a high-performance powder metallurgy steel developed in Japan, known for exceptional edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness. The San Mai construction sandwiches the SPG2 core between layers of softer stainless, reinforcing strength while keeping the blade light and balanced. A thumb hole allows for smooth one-handed opening, giving the user quick access in tactical or everyday situations.
This Linerlock folder is built on stainless steel liners, providing a strong and stable frame without adding bulk. The handle scales are crafted from black Micarta, a proven material known for its rugged texture, durability, and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. It offers a firm, comfortable grip even in wet or gloved hands. The design is sleek and understated, with the clean black scales contrasting against the polished blade.
The Tactility Elite Series is known for combining practical mechanics with elegant touches, and this model carries that tradition forward. At 4.5 inches closed, it rides comfortably in the pocket and includes a tip-up stainless steel pocket clip for secure, ambidextrous carry. Whether it’s used as a refined EDC or a dependable backup in the field, this knife has the balance, edge, and build quality to earn a permanent spot in your rotation. Order it today from SMKW!
