SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mcusta MC-18 Oda Nobunaga Folding Knife captures the spirit of a warrior and the precision of centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship. Inspired by Oda Nobunaga, the fearless samurai warlord who sought to unify Japan during the Sengoku Jidai, this knife embodies his legacy of power, discipline, and ambition. Each detail of the MC-18 reflects that same dedication to mastery—crafted for those who value history, artistry, and performance in equal measure.
From the first moment you hold it, the Mcusta MC-18 Oda Nobunaga Folding Knife feels like an heirloom reborn. The black micarta handle, sculpted with the intricate pattern of samurai armor, provides both durability and a commanding grip. Etched with Nobunaga’s Kamon, or family crest, it stands as a genuine mark of authenticity—a quiet reminder of the warrior’s enduring influence. Decorative brass pins and stainless steel liners add strength and refinement, making the handle as visually striking as it is functional.
At its core lies a blade forged from San Mai SPG2 powder steel, renowned for its superior edge retention and toughness. The drop point blade features a Tsuchime hammered finish, each one distinct, revealing the traditional Japanese artistry that defines Mcusta’s work. The subtle acid etch adds depth and texture, creating a blade that not only performs with precision but also tells its own story of fire and craftsmanship. With a blade length of 3.62 inches and an overall length of 8.37 inches, the MC-18 strikes a balance between elegance and utility, ready to excel in both daily carry and collection display.
Designed for versatility, the knife employs a smooth liner lock mechanism for secure operation and an ambidextrous thumb hole for effortless opening.
