Ebisu Co., Ltd. was founded in 1958 in Sanjō, Niigata, Japan's blacksmithing and cutlery capital, and produces precision spirit levels, squares, and layout tools for construction, carpentry, and engineering. The SS22 Supreme version is the same Crystal Level with a printed Supreme logo; it released April 28, 2022 at $24.
