The blade of this WAYO has multiple layers of copper and steel that jacket a core of Hitachi White Paper #1. The steel has been etched to a solid black finish and contrasts with the polished copper to dramatic effect. The light, thin blade is coupled with a weighty copper bolster cap, ensuring a balance point perfect for a pinch grip. The handle is made of richly coloured, old stock cocobolo that retains the oxidised outer layer, naturally darkened with age.
