Ebony gives the knife a restrained appearance, while the polished metal fittings and precise blade keep the overall design clean rather than decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe character of ebony wood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbony is valued for its naturally dark colour, density and fine grain. Because the handle is made from real wood, each knife varies slightly in tone and pattern. Those differences are normal and are part of the material rather than a manufacturing defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is shaped and finished to sit comfortably in the hand without hiding the natural character of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eATS-314 cobalt-alloy stainless steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe approximately 60 mm blade is made from ATS-314 cobalt-alloy stainless steel. It is the same blade material used across the seven current SUWADA Masterpiece folding knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is compact enough for a small folding format while remaining substantial enough for normal light cutting tasks. SUWADA does not currently publish a specific sharpening angle for these knives, so the existing factory bevel should be preserved when sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Japanese construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knife measures approximately 160 mm when open and is supplied in a metal storage case.
