MKM Fara: the 'little one' knives of the Mikita family

A knife for daily carry with a small blade and no lock. The knife is called Fara, a peak in the province of Pordenone, Italy and it's the first knife of the series, designed in collaboration with Mercury.

The designer of this MKM knife is Lucas Burnley, an American knifemaker based in New Mexico. The MKM Fara is a small-medium sized folding knife – what is generally called an EDC (every day carry) knife, a more theoretical than practical definition, since in many countries carrying a knife without a justified reason is explicitly prohibited.

The Fara is a relatively small knife, with a 3” / 76 mm long and 0.09” / 2.5 mm thick blade, with a total length of 6.9” / 176 mm and a weight ranging from 75 to 90 grams , depending on the material used for the handle and bolsters. The MKM Fara has a blade with clip point profile characterized by the long opening groove on the left side only, made with great care. A Böhler M390 Microclean steel was chosen for the blade, hardened to 50 / 60 HRC. The blade is satin finished, the factory sharpening is excellent.

The blade processing is excellent, with a very homogeneous satin finish and the crisp opening groove is on par with an artisanal knife.
