Japanese Custom Knives by Takeshi Saji: Unique Blades for Sale

The Mcusta MC-0082 “Kikyo” from the Kamon series is a refined pocket knife that blends Japanese elegance with everyday practicality.

Made entirely of stainless steel, it features an AUS-8 steel blade, known for its strength and ability to maintain a long-lasting sharpness. Its compact design and light weight make it ideal for carrying in your pocket or attaching to a tie with the integrated clip.

The Kikyo motif represents the bellflower, known in Japan as Kikyo or “bellflower.” This flower is a symbol of sincerity, eternal love, and protection. Used in the Sengoku period by the Akechi clan, it is now often used in Japanese decorative arts as an ornamental motif to evoke purity and harmony. On the knives of the Kamon series, the Kikyo motif adds a touch of delicacy and deep meaning, evoking values of loyalty and timeless beauty.
