Hi there! The Mcusta Tsuchi doesnt need big intro words. Its around since some times and its rather well known. I picked this up few months ago and this little thing put on hold my pocket rotation 
. I find this gentleman knife outstanding for cutting capability and versatile for light use utility EDC tasks. Very light, easy carry, very sharp out of the box, good edge retention. In my eyes, beautiful outlook of the blade. Purple handle it's OK for spring time and less intimidating than my usual black, olive drab, coyote tan, etc. Easy to sharpen, I do this with the IKEA ceramic sharpener . Sure its more on the side of scalpels than pry-bars, really doesnt call for any abuse or even hard use. If I really have to find a couple of negative things, I would say that, compared to other folders, its a magnet for pocket lint. I just blow it with compressed air, like for PCs. Also the steel ambidextrous thumb stud, in the long run, with continuous opening and closing, interfering with the aluminum handles, it leaves marks on the latter, due to different metal hardness. Nothing impairing safety or normal use, more an aesthetical thing, though bit disturbing.
Yesterday I had some fun in putting it to test in the kitchen. Some pics, just to share
