Seki, Japan has been the center of
Japanese cutlery production since the middle of the 13th
century. It was a natural choice because of its rich resources
of iron sand and charcoal and its proximity to water all
important elements in the crafting of fine
cutlery.
The
techniques and skills of the ancient swordsmiths have been
passed down for centuries and continue to develop and progress
with modern technology. Seki city remains the vibrant hub of
Japanese cutlery manufacture.
MCUSTA knives are made in Seki city, Japan and are the
pinnacle of this synthesis between traditional Japanese
craftsmanship and modern cutting edge technology.
The
Mcusta design team uses the 3D.CAM system to design new models
and create protoypes. Each knife design is then meticulously
inspected and then field tested. At this point the finest
materials are chosen for durability, function and
beauty.
MCUSTA does not use the conventional method of die stamping
their blades like most mass produced knives. Components are
laser cut and C&C machined to assure the best possible
precision fit. This is am important step in the production of
a superior blade. Eack knife is then hand assembled and hand
finished and inspected by MCUSTA's team of
craftsmen.
MCUSTA knives are among the finest production
knives made anywhere in the world!!
