Why thanks! They are not all that expensive really. In the same price range as the better Spydercos and Benchmades. I highly recommend Mcusta knives. I don't think they get nearly enough credit around here. I think most people write them off as gentleman's knives because they use a lot of wood and damascus. Let me tell you, there's nothing gentlemanly about this knife though. It's a beauty, but it's made to cut.

I was checking them out the other day ad wondering why you never hear about them, maybe its the china thing to, thanks for the great pics btw
 
I asked Singularity about his Pikal as well. Really badass fixed blade EDC. Always love this thread !

China thing? All Mcustas are made in Seki City, Japan.

True that. If you ever get to chance to hold one, you'll see why. Probably gonna be one of my next purchases - but I wouldn't want to ruin it (see: all my other knife pics).

It's lacking damascus.

Why for do you get a mcusta without damascus when they are so inexpensive?! The only mcusta I have is all damascus, blade, handles and all. Not great damascus, but the only damascus I own, and it was cheap.

Also nevermind that, carry your Laconico! Really nice wood that one has though.
Too lazy to look it up.. some sort of curly maple? I really need to get something scalloped like that... really nice.

Also today I carried the Laconico I have. Though I did have nice thoughts about the Peter R Rapture I have, and the one I will have. Pretty sure you'll be seeing a post in a while about this future knife that'll be my EDC for a while.

I dig that opening hole. Functional, but obviously respectful at the same time.

Definitely like the opening hole. Also, it's not clear in the other pics, but the M in Mcusta is actually a cutout (see below).

Two reasons. I don't like damascus. I like plain blades. Plain edges, no coating, no damascus, no laminates, no composites. That's just my taste. Also, the plain blade version of this knife comes with the opening hole, and the damascus comes with a thumbstud. My experience with Mcusta is they put their thumbstuds just a tad too close to the scales. Also, don't worry, my Laconico is still at the top of my EDC depth chart. And the wood on this one is quincewood.

Alright cool man, I always like to hear the different opinions on stuff like this. Makes sense when you spell it out like that. Had no idea about the hole vs thumbstud, based on blade steel choice. I don't own any spydercos yet, but I get that... not a huge fan of how some do their thumbstuds. I personally don't like coatings either. I love the steel and love to see it.

Damascus is sort of a bastard child to me. I kinda like the idea of it, and some of the looks... but it isn't the real thing (wootz). Depends on the blade i'm getting but so far I have not gotten any damascus blades other than that one mcusta, cause it was cheap. You know the reason.

Quincewood. that's new to me... very nice, I love it. i'm really in love with anything like ironwood, curly maple, birdseye maple, stuff like that. Maybe even some nice cocobola...

Hey can you speak anymore on the flats of that blade? They look like they weren't polished, or maybe intentionally antiqued... did it arrive to you like that?
glad to hear you're still cherishing that laconico though :)
