Where this sits
Manufactured in South Korea.
The HANABI CHEMI is built from VG-10 Cobalt steel — the same Takefu-sourced alloy used across the HANABI range — with an offset handle and convex blade geometry. VG-10 holds a fine edge and responds well to regular stropping, making it a practical choice for high-volume professional use.
The CHEMI designation identifies this as a distinct model within the HANABI catalogue. Offset handle positioning reduces wrist rotation during standard blunt and point cutting.
