Ok, so anyone out there with experience on these? Love the look, and they appear to be of high quality for the low cost.

How does it feel in the hand? How well does the finish hold up? Any other thoughts?

Thanks in advance, looking to buy ASAP.

I have 2 similar knives: the Mcusta Stingray (which has the same handle at the clip side) and the Browning Ice Storm which is a rebranded Mcusta (offering incredible value if you can still find them) - it has the full handle of the Katana and the blade of the Stingray.

My experience is that the build and finish quality is really good, and the blade is perfectly sharp. FYI, since the handle is anodized, if you carry it in your pocket with keys then there is risk of scratches.

You should be happy with it. Personally I think that the Stingray variant looks classier!
 
I'm impulsive and bored, so I snagged one before getting more responses anyway lol.

Thanks for the feedback, I hope I enjoy mine as much as you enjoy yours.

Based on my experience with the (previously mentioned) Browning Ice Storm, you should be very pleased.
Great build quality and blade steel.

The only slightly quirky thing about it IMO is the non-removable pocket clip.
 
I did go for the San-Mai coated blade BTW, if that makes a difference. I know that takes it further away from the Browning Ice Storm similarity as well.

This is my 5th purchase over the last two days, and I have to say that this one is one of the top two most anticipated for delivery... I think I might end up owning all 3 colors.
 
I like the fact the blade shape is far more traditional than your average 'tanto' styled folder (yes, I'm aware it's called the Katana..).
 
I have handled a Mcusta and I love it. It has been on my mind ever since. You should grab one, they are of good quality.
