Mcusta’s Katana series folding knife is inspired by the traditional Japanese Samurai sword. It features a 3-layer laminated (San Mai) VG-10 Tanto blade with stylish wrapped-look aluminum handles, which have been forged, machined, and then double anodized with two contrasting colours - available in multiple colour combinations. These knives are a wonderful synthesis of traditional Japanese blades, contemporary design, modern materials and modern manufacturing methods.

This knife measures 4.25\" long closed and features a San Mai stainless steel blade with VG-10 core and blue/orange anodized aluminum handle with reversible tip-up carry pocket clip for right or left hand carry.
