Chikara (主税) Japanese Style Carbon Steel Knife

Chikara (力) in Japanese means 'strength'. And just like its namesake, the Chikara Japanese style carbon steel knife gives you a lot of power to slice, dice and chop with precision cuts through any vegetable or meats (without bones) and fish.

Key features:

• 2mm thick blade made from high carbon steel
• Good edge retention
• Easy to resharpen
• Weighs 200 gm 
• Good for precise cuts of vegetables and meat & fish

The Chikara is a Deba knife, which means it is is a pointed carving knife used primarily for fish and meats (without bones)

The carbon steel knife blade is made from recycled leaf springs, which are recovered from the suspension system of trucks and cars. The handle is made from varnished Golden Cassia wood, native to Vietnam. If you go for the light or brown options with the Chikara, please note that slight variation in color is expected as the wood is natural. 

Handmade products from a small family run blacksmith cooperative. From the carbon steel blade to the handle, everything is hand made and perfectly imperfect.

Please consider when purchasing that each and every knife is individual, slightly different and small beauty flaws are there, which will not influence the performance of the knife!
