The **Mcusta MC-SY001 Shinwa Yatagarasu Limited Edition** is a remarkable gentleman’s knife with an amazing story. The first thing you notice is the three-legged bird that is flying over the damascus steel clouds towards the bronze rising sun. The bird is made from a piece of brass and placed in a dark-blue corian sky. A real work of art.


This knife is part of Mcusta’s new Shinwa collection. A collection of knives that focuses on Japanese mythology. The three-legged bird that adorns the handle is also called Yatagarasu. A legendary bird. The three legs represent the sky, the earth and humanity. According to the legend Yatagarasu brought the first emperor and founder of Japan, Jimmu, to Yamatono Kashihara to build the first royal palace.


The story behind this knife is not the only thing remarkable about this knife. The Shinwa Yatagarasu was produced completely according to Japanese traditions. The blade is made from carbon steel with layers of brass and copper. As such you are left with a nice patina on the blade after a while. Just like on traditional Japanese chef’s knives. A lot of manual labour went into this knife, and you can tell.


The Mcusta MC-SY001 Shinwa Yatagarasu Limited Edition is delivered in a nice wooden box placed in a Nishijin sheath. Nishijin stands for a 1200 year old traditional Japanese weaving technique in which the yarn is first dyed after which beautiful multi-coloured patterns can be made.


## Mcusta: luxurious pocket knives from Japan


The Japanese Mcusta (Machine Custom Knives) produces stylish, top-quality knives. Enhanced with stunning materials such as graceful damast, micarta, anodized aluminium and remarkable types of wood. Mcusta knives are produced in Seki, ever since the 13th century in the centre of the Japanese knife industry. At Mcusta they pay a lot of attention to details. As such there is a lot of manual labour involved. The result is a remarkable pocket knife brand that produces gentleman's knives with a unique Japanese design. You will never find them like this anywhere else.

Cet objet est beaucoup plus qu'un couteau de poche 
c'est une oeuvre d'art !

Das Messer ist zu schwer für die Hosentasche, die Verarbeitung läßt zu wünschen übrig, man kann das zusammen-gefügte sehen, Der Griff schwarzer Plastik. Der 3 beinige Adler / Geier ist rau. Das ganze kam in einem billigen Holzkistchen, und das Messer eingewickelt in ein Stück Stoff, wo man einige Zeit braucht um es zu befreien. Positiv ist seine Schärfe Für mich ganz klar zu teuer. Für den Preis gibt es besseres. Eigentlich hätte ich es zurück schicken müssen.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
