Mcusta goes framelock

[Dagon]

Dear all,

I just notched two new Mcusta designs at the Böker site. Instead of their typical liner lock, these 2 feature a frame lock. The general design is still very gentlemen-like. Also interesting: the 2nd knife is bigger than most Mcustas - the blade measures 8.4 cm.
In general it is interesting that the handle style is applied to the blade spine yet I must say that I am not so tempted by the end result, it is really something to try:

Nice. Its about time they made a different lock.

I actually like the texture of the handle and blade on the bottom knife. Being someone who prefers frame-locks to liner-locks that is the main reason I've yet to purchase a Mcusta. Thanks for the heads up.

Why do they insist on the tip-down carry?...

the second is very nice. i take it they r going to keep the vg10 core?

Those look nice. I too would like the tip-up option though.

Why do they insist on the tip-down carry?...

Probably the same reason Benchmade give: it's not safe to carry tip-up. BS of course, everyone else does it just fine.

YES! I've been wanting mcusta to do a framelock model since I got my first one.

Very cool. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for these.

Nice looking knives for sure. I have to agree with the lack of tip-down pocket clip carry being a no-go for me though.

Thanks for the heads up, I really like the bottom one, I wonder how much they cost once it hits the regular US online knife shops
