What's fineline?

Fineline is reconstituted wood, basically a bunch of thin sheets of wood glued together and cut in the perpendicular direction. This results in a very consistent veneer. Manufacturers mostly use it for their handles, however you can also see it as the top ply in many blades. Donic Epox and Nittaku Factive come to mind.

Thanks for your answer Sergio, could you compare vs Limba, Ayous or other wood?
This particular fineline is made with Ayous sheets, so it's relatively soft. The vertical lines act like the grain on solid wood, so it feels similar to a quarter sawn veneer. I like to call it the poor man's Hinoki, of course it's not the same thing but it's shares some characteristics like the softness and bounciness.
