The Shinra series of hand-forged folding knives combines the design of ancient Japanese samurai swords with the new technologies of the most precise production and the contemporary distinctive Mcusta design.

The Japanese concept 森羅 (SHINRA) means "Nature," "Universe" or "All Creatures" and that symbolism is also reflected in the appearance of the knife. The blade is forged in 33 layers of Damascus stainless steel with a core of VG10 steel. Damascus on the blade resembles the bark of a tree and wood.

The comfortable handle is made of pakka wood with a relief shape and black color. The part of the handle that serves as a case for the blade is made of stainless steel.

Quick and safe handling: The spring-loaded mechanism allows for easy folding and unfolding. It comes in an elegant premium case made of Japanese hand-embroidered Nishijin brocade cloth.

Exclusive gift: Ideal for collectors, lovers of Japanese culture and those who appreciate a high-end tool with history and character.

After use, wash the knife by hand with lukewarm water and dry it.
Fold the knife and store it in a safe place where it will not collide with other objects.
