{"product_id":"maple-folding-knife","title":"Japanese Folding Knife - Maple Handle","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA lighter expression of the SUWADA Masterpiece folding knife\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean, calm and quietly distinctive, the \u003cstrong\u003eSUWADA Masterpiece Maple Folding Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e is the lightest-looking member of the natural-wood collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts pale Maple handle gives the knife a more contemporary character, setting off the polished \u003cstrong\u003eATS-314 cobalt-alloy stainless-steel blade\u003c\/strong\u003e with a restrained contrast. Where Bocote draws attention through dramatic grain and Ebony through depth of colour, Maple stands out through simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a metal case, it makes a particularly elegant choice for someone who appreciates Japanese minimalism, natural materials and useful objects with very little visual excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe quiet character of Maple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaple rewards a closer look. Its grain is generally subtler than the darker woods in the collection, but the handle still changes from piece to piece through small variations in tone, figure and line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighter surface also makes those differences feel especially personal. Some handles appear almost calm and uniform, while others reveal more movement as the wood catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes Maple the most understated choice in the series: refined, modern and easy to appreciate without needing to appear ornate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium ATS-314 cobalt-alloy steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60 mm blade is made from \u003cstrong\u003eATS-314 cobalt-alloy stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and proportioned to keep the knife compact and controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen folded, the blade sits neatly inside the handle, turning the knife into a small, balanced personal object that can be stored in its metal case and carried only where local law permits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for practical rituals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maple Folding Knife is made to be more than an object for display. Its compact format suits everyday cutting tasks such as opening parcels and letters, cutting paper or cord, preparing fruit or small foods, or accompanying picnics and outdoor occasions where possession and use are permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts appeal comes from that combination: everyday usefulness presented with the finish and restraint expected from a carefully made Japanese tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA refined gift for someone who prefers less\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maple version is especially suited to someone whose taste runs toward clean materials, light interiors, Japanese design and objects with subtle rather than dramatic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in its metal case, it makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, retirement, career milestones, collectors, or anyone who values a beautifully made object that can actually become part of daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen size: approximately 15 × 22 × 160 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed size: approximately 15 × 22 × 95 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: approximately 60 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: approximately 3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 140 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: ATS-314 cobalt-alloy stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: natural Maple wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: metal case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural material, individual character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaple varies naturally in colour, grain and figure.
