I'm on a lockback kick lately.
Anyone know if Mcusta offers a lockback?
Are all their offerings liner-locks ?
:(

Thanks in advance
 
Thanks Pilsner Pilsner and R Rich S
Yeah, looks like just liner-locks.
I emailed the folks at Japanese knife direct. No lockbacks from Mcusta :(
I have a liner-lock from them that I really like. They make good stuff.

Hey Don, Pinemoon Pinemoon - sitting around on this white out snow day in Maine (you too, right?) and I'm virtually spending money I don't have, on knives I don't need (what else is new :confused: I just find knives so compelling) ANYWAY - came around to looking at this one again and thought of you being on a "lockback kick", as you are these days.

This one is certainly calling me :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

Le Thiers NATURE 11.5 cm in stabilized leather :cool:

What do you think?

Hey Ray,
That Le Thiers piece is very pleasing, love the lines of those knives. I discovered them on Stefan Schmalhus' YouTube channel a couple of years ago. They're a bit outside my $ range, but they look very well made.
Maybe some day.
And yeah, got the snow, but had to work regardless. Part of working at the hospital.
Snowshoes soon, ay?
 
Hope we get enough snow this year to snowshoe out the back door. I have some very nice vintage and state of the art lightweights shoes. We live with the perfect backyard but the last few winters have been snow, followed by rain, so more ice than fun.

ANYWAY to the knife ;) - yeah that's a pricey lock-back but a real nice one - at least what I can see and read. Maybe someday for me too. We need to cull the collection every now and again to make room for new carries. You've heard me say that I'm zeroing in on my perfect group :rolleyes: yeah, that's not happening. :D There are always new ones, for example, never heard of Mcusta until I saw this thread. Oh well...

Mcusta is a super-duper brand from Seki-City (like Moki).
But Mcusta is more modern-focused, I guess, seeing how they only offer liner-locks.

And yeah, culling my collection too at the moment. Part of trying new things and seeing what sticks. I'm enjoying the ride :thumbsup:
 
I don't think I've ever seen one that had a lockback. They're not all liner locks though--they do make some frame lock models, I have at least one that's a frame lock:
