SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Mcusta MC-21 Petit Damascus Folding Knife Blue/Black Micarta is a compact, lightweight EDC that proves high performance doesn't require a large footprint. Made in Seki, Japan—where generations of craftsmanship meet advanced precision engineering—the Petit is designed for those who demand refined utility in a minimalist format. Whether you're carrying it as a discreet backup or your primary everyday blade, this knife delivers a unique balance of style, function, and build quality.
The blade is a 1.875-inch Wharncliffe-style crafted from 33-layer stainless Damascus steel with a VG-10 core, offering a razor-sharp edge with excellent retention. A hammered Tsuchime finish on the spine adds visual character and helps reduce drag during cutting. Instead of a traditional thumb stud, the blade opens via a notched tang tab—making one-handed deployment smooth and intuitive. This thoughtful feature enhances both safety and usability, especially in tight or quick-access scenarios.
The blue and black jute micarta handle is built over stainless steel liners, offering both strength and grip with an attractive textured surface. It’s shaped to sit naturally in the hand despite the knife’s sub-3-inch closed length, and the quality of the material ensures it will age with character. The linerlock mechanism is smooth and secure, snapping the blade into place with confidence. For easy everyday carry, the knife includes an integrated tip-up pocket clip, optimized for right-hand use.
At just under 1.5 ounces, the Petit is incredibly light, making it perfect for pocket, keychain, or organizer carry without adding bulk. Mcusta’s attention to detail and blending of traditional Japanese design with modern usability makes this frictionless little folder a standout in the world of compact knives. It’s not just a tool—it’s a refined instrument for those who appreciate precision in every aspect of their gear. Order yours today from SMKW!
