July 22, 2024We have just completed the design and production of our latest knife, and it is now ready for same-day shipping from California, USA. This knife offers exceptional value at $100. I am fully confident in the precision craftsmanship and fine details of this product. If for any reason you find it does not meet your expectations, we offer an unconditional return policy with no questions asked. In response to customer feedback, we have improved the blade design, transitioning from a flat grind to a hollow grind. A customer mentioned that a pocket knife in this price range should prioritize function over being just a collectible. In response, we modified the blade to a hollow grind, reducing cutting resistance for smoother daily use. I’ve included a video to give you a closer look at the knife’s details and usage. Overall Length: 8 inches Handle Material: Translucent Ultem Blade: Patented SLD Magic SAN MAI steel Rockwell Hardness: 60-61 HRC Please check the video for a detailed overview of the knife’s features and functionality. We are also excited to introduce the second generation of our Chop folding knife, specifically designed for the American market. This upgraded version features an improved button lock mechanism and traditional flipper opening for smooth, easy operation. We’ve incorporated a handguard to ensure a secure grip, even during intense use. The blade has been widened to provide a more robust, substantial look, aligning with the American preference for strength and reliability. What distinguishes our knives is the blade steel. As specialists in Japanese-style knives, we adhere to traditional craftsmanship. The blade is crafted from premium Japanese SLD-Magic steel with a core hardness of 60-61 HRC, capable of enduring the most demanding outdoor conditions. Our patented surface treatment ensures authentic hot-forged steel patterns, not the laser-etched designs commonly found on other knives, guaranteeing a true laminated steel construction. Additionally, our multi-stage polishing technique creates a striking, samurai sword-inspired aesthetic, with a three-layer gradient finish. The blade’s lower section features a mirror-like polish, transitioning to a misty midsection, and concluding with a frosted top edge, all meticulously crafted by our expert artisans. This second-generation Chop folding knife seamlessly blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern engineering, making it ideal for users who demand superior performance, exceptional durability, and refined aesthetics.
