{"product_id":"bocote-folding-knife","title":"Japanese Folding Knife - Bocote Handle","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Japanese folding knife with a bold natural grain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichly patterned and immediately distinctive, the \u003cstrong\u003eSUWADA Masterpiece Bocote Folding Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e is made for someone who enjoys seeing the character of a natural material at first glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts compact 60 mm blade is made from \u003cstrong\u003eATS-314 cobalt-alloy stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and set within a hand-finished Bocote handle. The wood is the defining feature: flowing dark lines, warm brown tones and strong changes in grain give every knife its own visual rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a metal case, it works equally well as a refined personal tool, a collector's piece, or a memorable gift for someone who values Japanese craftsmanship and objects made to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor those who prefer character over uniformity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appeal of Bocote is that it does not try to look perfectly uniform. One handle may show long sweeping lines, another tighter bands or stronger contrasts between light and dark areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat variation is not a defect. It is part of what makes the Bocote version special. Each knife carries the identity of the individual piece of wood from which its handle was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the natural-wood versions in the SUWADA Masterpiece series, Bocote is the most visually expressive. If Ebony is restrained and formal, Bocote is warmer, livelier and more obviously unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium ATS-314 cobalt-alloy steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from \u003cstrong\u003eATS-314 cobalt-alloy stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, selected for fine cutting instruments. Its compact proportions keep the knife controlled and easy to handle while preserving the balance of the folding design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the blade folded away, the knife becomes a compact personal object that is satisfying to hold, carry where legally permitted, and keep ready for ordinary cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned to be used and appreciated\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not intended to be a purely decorative knife. Its compact size makes it suitable for everyday tasks such as opening parcels, cutting paper or cord, preparing fruit or small foods, and accompanying picnics or outdoor occasions where use and carrying are permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of polished steel and naturally figured wood gives it a level of presence that goes beyond an ordinary utility knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA distinctive gift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bocote version is particularly well suited to someone who appreciates natural materials, visible craftsmanship and pieces that do not look mass-produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in its metal case, it makes a strong gift for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirement, career achievements, collectors of Japanese tools, or anyone drawn to unusual woods and fine cutting instruments.\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 Bocote 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\u003eNo two Bocote handles are identical.
