Crafted from brass, it develops a richer tone and character over time.
Its finely engraved surface gives everyday use a refined presence, while the angled back edge and key ring make it easy to carry and use.

Customs & Taxes – Please Note
For orders to the United States: the line marked “Shipping + U.S. import duties” is not postage alone. Since April 2026 the United States has applied a steep tariff to copper and copper-alloy goods, and a large part of that line is the import duty we pay on your behalf, along with the customs broker’s fee and postage from Kyoto. It is not included in the item price. We would rather show it to you here than let it reach you as a bill later — once you have paid at checkout, nothing further is charged on delivery.
For all other countries: import duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees are not included in the item price and may be charged by your local customs. These charges are the recipient's responsibility and are usually collected by the carrier or at pickup — please don't confuse them with extra shipping fees. We recommend checking your country's customs rules before ordering. Customs inspection may also extend delivery times.
