SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mcusta MC-16 Fusion Tsuchi Damascus Folding Knife in Black Aluminum is a modern blade steeped in ancient inspiration. Drawing from the legacy of the Japanese Samurai sword, this refined folder is part of Mcusta’s Fusion series—blending traditional artistry with cutting-edge manufacturing. Built in Seki, Japan, each knife reflects Mcusta’s signature attention to detail, where hand-finishing meets precise machine tolerances for a tool that looks as sharp as it performs.
At the core of this knife is a 3.37-inch Damascus clip point blade forged from 33 layers of stainless steel wrapped around a VG-10 core. The VG-10 steel delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for everyday carry and long-term reliability. What sets this blade apart is its hammered “Tsuchime” finish—a nod to traditional Japanese forging techniques. This not only adds visual depth but also helps reduce drag while slicing. A blue anodized thumb stud provides smooth, ambidextrous one-handed opening.
The black aluminum handle is lightweight yet durable, anodized for a sleek matte finish with subtle blue accents that echo the thumb stud. Designed for comfort and secure grip, the ergonomic handle houses a stainless steel linerlock that keeps the blade firmly in place during use. A tip-up pocket clip is reversible, allowing for ambidextrous carry and discreet pocket retention.
Balanced, functional, and steeped in cultural heritage, the Fusion Tsuchi is a folding knife that feels right at home in both your everyday kit and your display case. Whether you're drawn to its performance or its polished aesthetic, this is a blade that carries the spirit of tradition into the modern world. Order yours today from SMKW!
