Mcusta MC-24 TANTO w/pouch SPG2 Damascus Blade Handle MC-241GD

The Mcusta MC-24 Tanto is a bold, high-performance fixed blade that showcases Mcusta’s mastery of traditional Japanese knife design fused with cutting-edge metallurgy. As one of the latest additions to Mcusta’s fixed blade lineup, this knife is both a collector’s centerpiece and a field-ready cutting tool. First introduced at the 2023 Blade Show with an initial production of only 20 pieces, the MC-24 stands out as a rare and refined expression of modern Japanese craftsmanship.

Measuring 11 inches overall, the MC-24 is built around a robust 5.75-inch tanto blade constructed from Mcusta’s premium 33-layer Damascus with a SPG2 powder steel core. SPG2 is a top-tier Japanese metallurgy steel, prized for its excellent corrosion resistance, remarkable edge retention, and toughness that rivals or exceeds steels like S35VN. The blade features a hammered tsuchime finish on the upper surface, which not only evokes the texture of traditional Japanese forging but also helps minimize friction during slicing. The tanto profile provides superior tip strength and piercing ability, making this blade as functional as it is visually striking.

The handle of the MC-24 draws inspiration from traditional katana construction, wrapped in genuine leather over stingray skin to provide a secure grip with a distinctive aesthetic. The full tang construction adds structural integrity while giving the knife a solid, confident feel in hand. The elegant contours of the handle combined with its traditional wrapping technique reflect a deep respect for Japanese blade heritage, while offering practical control during use.

This knife comes housed in a wood presentation box and includes a custom-fit leather sheath for safe storage and carry. Whether used as a high-end utility blade or kept as a showpiece in a discerning collection, the MC-24 represents Mcusta’s commitment to blending form, function, and fine detail at every level.

The MC-24 is a truly unique knife—crafted in small numbers, built with premium materials, and designed to honor the legacy of traditional Japanese bladesmithing with modern performance. Order it today from SMKW!
