First Impression: Murray Carter Muteki neck knife

This is one of the early ones that Murray made after I asked (read: implored) him to begin offering neck knives at the Blade Show a few years back. The one I received was the second or third he made.

This one is one that I received from him the Blade Show when he received his master smith's stamp from the ABS.

Needless to say, it was a beautiful progression from micarta to mastodon ivory and Muteki laminated steel to Murray's hand forged laminated blade. :cool:

You can do it again anytime, Danbo. I've got plenty of RenWax on hand. :cool:
 
I've got a pair......a Muteki Tactical with carbon fiber handle scales (Hitachi #1 and 410 stainless) and a hand-forged Tactical with stag scales and mosaic pins.

I must say that in all my years of looking for the sharpest/keenest of blades, the hand-forged Carter, the same #1/410 mix, is waaay at the very top of the list! The edge on that piece has to be examined and used to be believed...... :eek:

I use the Muteki Tactical on a daily basis, carrying it in an IWB Concelex custom sheath, and it, too, has an incredible edge. I burnish them on a polished steel and if need be, hit the edge on a fine ceramic hone then go back to the steel. Can't beat 'em! :D
 
I visited baldeart website many times just for reviewing Murrays's mastodon neck knife with mosic pins, but I wish its blade was hand forged.
 
it is hand forged... anything with his name in script on the tang is hand forged. the muteki ones have the two japanese symbols. i had to correct bladeart about this, their info is wrong.
