MCUSTA Knives

MCUSTA Knives, short for "Machine Custom Knives," are precision-crafted blades produced by Marusho Industry Inc. in Seki City, Japan, a historic cutlery hub with over 700 years of tradition.
Founded in 2000 by the Hasegawa family, MCUSTA blends advanced technology—like laser cutting and CNC machining—with meticulous hand-finishing to create folding and kitchen knives of exceptional quality. Using premium steels such as VG-10 and SPG2 San Mai, often paired with elegant handles of micarta, pakkawood, or rare woods, their knives offer both durability and striking design. Known for lines like Zanmai and Sengoku, MCUSTA excels in crafting tools that shine in both everyday use and as collector’s pieces. Based in Gifu Prefecture, they remain a family-driven brand committed to excellence in every blade.
