Mcusta Classic Wave Black Folding Knife

The Mcusta MC-0017V Classic Wave is an elegant gentleman’s knife, slightly larger than most other Mcusta pocket knives. Its design embodies a distinctly Japanese aesthetic, instantly recognizable for its refined style. This knife is suitable for everyday carry (EDC) but also doubles as a sophisticated gentleman’s accessory.

The handle is crafted from black pakka wood, a durable laminate made of thin layers of wood infused with synthetic resin for enhanced strength and stability—resembling the appearance of ebony. Functional grooves in the handle add both grip and visual appeal.

The knife features a convenient thumb stud, allowing easy one-handed opening for both left and right-handed users. A secure liner lock keeps the blade in place during use, and the slim profile and strategically positioned pocket clip make it almost disappear in your pocket when not in use.

Mcusta: Exquisite Knives from Japan Mcusta, short for Machine Custom Knives, is a Japanese brand known for its finely crafted, high-quality knives. Using premium materials like damascus steel, micarta, anodized aluminum, and unique wood varieties, Mcusta has been producing knives in Seki, Japan—the heart of the Japanese knife industry—since the 13th century. With a meticulous attention to detail and a blend of manual craftsmanship, Mcusta creates exquisite gentleman’s knives with a distinct Japanese flair, making them truly one-of-a-kind.

UK knife law:

UK knife law allows you to carry non-locking pocket knives with a blade length up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) with a valid reason.

You are allowed to carry a knife that exceeds these guidelines in public, but please remember: you then do need a good reason to carry it. Gov.uk has the following to say on good reasons to carry a knife:

“Examples of good reasons to carry a knife in public can include:

• taking knives you use at work to and from work
• taking knives to a gallery or museum to be exhibited
• the knife is going to be used for theatre, film, television, historical re-enactment or religious purposes, eg the kirpan some Sikhs carry

A court will decide if you’ve got a good reason to carry a knife if you’re charged with carrying it illegally.”

Abuse is still illegal

Also remember that using any knife (legal or illegal) in any threatening way is also illegal. So using your (legal) Swiss Army knife in any threatening way is still illegal.

UK Friendly

Because of the conditions listed above, we like to call these knives UK-friendly instead of UK Legal. Knives that are for sale on our website and that are not UK Friendly are fine as long as you keep them in your own home, or on your own property.

Knife free zones

There may be zones where you are not permitted to carry any knife at all, regardless of size or locking mechanism. As you may understand this often is the case in sports stadiums, bars, clubs, city centres, gyms and other crowded places.
