The huge popularity of the Mcusta Damascus Folder with a Bamboo shaped handle (MCU-0033D) and blade of the same damascus has inspired the Japanese makers to introduce the same knife with the handles shaped from premium cocobolo rather than the damascus material. This creates a dynamic contrast with the blade which is the same great VG-10 core at 58-60 Rc. laminated between two pieces of 33 layer stainless damascus. The VG-10 core and damascus sides creates a really tough blade that holds a great edge. Cocobolo has been used as a premium handle material for fine knives for over 200 years and is still one of the best. 2-3/4" drop point blade. Cocobolo handle scales over stainless liners. Walker lock. Measures 3-3/4" closed and weighs 2.2 oz. Made in Japan. Includes a traditional Japanese pocket pouch.
