MCUSTA MATOUEN Limited Edition Japanese Folding Knife – Copper & Brass Damascus / V-Toku 2 Steel / Ironwood / Traditional Kiso Tsuishu Lacquer

MCUSTA MATOUEN Limited Edition Japanese Folding Knife

Where Seki's knifemaking heritage meets the timeless artistry of Kiso lacquerware.

The MCUSTA MATOUEN Limited Edition brings together two celebrated Japanese craft traditions: precision knifemaking from Seki City and traditional lacquer artistry from Kiso-Hirasawa, Nagano.

The blade features striking colored Damascus steel incorporating copper and brass, with a V-Toku 2 steel core designed to deliver excellent cutting performance. Its distinctive layered pattern creates a beautiful balance of craftsmanship and functionality.

The handle showcases premium ironwood, prized for its rich grain and natural character. It is further enhanced with vibrant vermilion Tsuishu-style lacquerwork by Kashiwya Jozaemon Shoten, a long-established Kiso lacquerware workshop.

Combining Seki's refined blade craftsmanship with a traditional lacquer technique passed down since the Muromachi period, MATOUEN is a distinctive expression of Japanese artistry, precision, and heritage.
