Thanks Mark. Mcusta does make some elegant knives. Plus they are highly functional and hold up amazingly well.

From a recent collection I purchased. Here are three Mcusta Custom Premier knives. I don’t know the names of all of these so I can’t document that. I’ve been looking for these for years. I already have the second one and will sell this one. But the other two are new to me and will stay with me. It’s hard to convey how beautiful these are. The first one doesn’t look all that impressive in the picture but in hand it’s gorgeous. Gary Kennedy has posted the last one very early in this thread. These Japanese masters are truly artist and master craftsmen. If anyone has names and the year that these were made, I would appreciate it if you posted that information. I know they made no more than 100 of each of these. These all have serial numbers in them. Thanks.

Sensational, Mark, what else can I say!
I fell in love with the 2nd knife when you showed it to us, but now I see the 3rd knife and find it even more attractive.
I believe I've seen the 1st knife previously on eBay.
Congratulations on furthering your Mcusta collection, ::handshake:: those are some fine knives.

I am voting for #1 and #2, but #3 is great as well. Those are just plain works of art ::oh_my:: Really amazing, very beautiful! ::nod::

Thank you Mark and TopDog. I can’t overstate how impressive Mcusta knives are and the custom premier series are just outstanding. The new ones they are coming up with now are priced over 500 dollars. Getting out of reach for many customers but they always sell out fast, so they must know their markets.

Nice pictures. That black MC-142G is one that I have drooled over for years. Love that SPG powdered steel, that is one heck of a knife.
