Cudeman MT-10 (332-JA): the blue mini EDC folding knife for your keyring
The Cudeman MT-10 (332-JA) arrives as a reinterpretation of the classic MT-10, designed to ride along every day in your pocket or on your keyring. Compared with the original model, this version swaps the old hollow grind for a flat grind, a more versatile and robust solution. It is a logical choice for anyone after a lightweight, discreet urban tool with a refined finish in a genuinely pocketable format.
Reasons to choose it
- Updated edge geometry: the flat grind replaces the hollow grind, adding greater strength to the blade and better penetration than previous versions.
- Minimal weight: at just 35 grams, it carries effortlessly in a watch pocket or alongside your everyday gear, barely noticeable.
- Contemporary finish: the satin blue Juma is more durable and modern than classic materials such as wood or acrylic.
- Built for the keyring: a discreet EDC companion that travels alongside your house keys.
Steel and edge performance
It carries a 5.5 cm blade in molybdenum vanadium steel hardened to 54/56 HRc. This alloy is valued for combining toughness with good corrosion resistance, a blend well suited to everyday urban use. The new flat grind together with the satin finish translate into a clean cut and, above all, easy resharpening, so keeping the edge in shape takes very little effort.
Construction
Despite its compact format, the MT-10 (332-JA) boasts a solid build: a 2.0 mm blade thickness and a steel pivot anchor. It is made by Cudeman at its workshops in Albacete, with a refined fit that leaves the lock-up free of play. As it is geared towards everyday cutting, it is best not to subject it to extreme prying loads in order to preserve the precision of its pivot.
Handle and ergonomics
The handle in blue Juma with an orange spacer gives it a lively, professional look. Juma is a technical synthetic with a satin feel that grips comfortably and firmly. Its 6.5 cm length is calculated to offer full control over the drop-point tip and to allow precise, safe cuts in a range of situations.
Sheath and carry
The set includes a black skai sheath with matching blue stitching that protects the knife from scuffs in the pocket. As a nod to EDC use, the handle features a hole for adding a ring so you can carry it directly on your house keys, always within reach.
Use cases
- Urban everyday carry (EDC): opening letters and parcels or handling small maintenance jobs.
- Personal, discreet carry: its light weight and size make it ideal for the keyring, ready without drawing attention.
- Backup cutting: handy for fine tasks that call for a controlled tip and a nimble blade.
Care and maintenance
- The blue Juma handle is very hard-wearing; it is usually enough to keep the piece clean and dry after each use.
- Wipe the blade now and then with a soft cloth to remove adhesive residue from the packaging and to preserve the satin finish.
- Occasionally, a drop of light oil on the pivot keeps the smooth opening characteristic of the model.
- Keep the spring channel free of dirt so that blade retention keeps responding well.
In this way, the Cudeman MT-10 (332-JA) captures the aesthetic and technical evolution of a classic from the Albacete maker and is offered as a reliable edge for everyday use. Available at Navajeria with shipping across mainland Spain.
