Mcusta creates custom quality production knives that are hand finished. Machine Custom = Mcusta. Located in Seki, Japan, the company holds an esteemed reputation for producing the finest Japanese folders.
This is Mcusta's higonokami friction folder. It features the traditional Japanese one hand opening and closing mechanism. It is not a locking blade, but the pressure of the thumb on the blade back prevents it from closing in use. It also has a firm ball bearing detent, keeping the blade in place whether open or closed - similar to how a linerlock keeps a blade closed. Comes in box with Nishijin.
