Takeshi Iwai <p>A camp machete made by traditional craftsman Iwai Takeshi.<br/> <br/>Shinkan is a machete that incorporates the skills of Echizen hammered blades, which have been passed down through three generations.<br/> <br/> It is light and strong. <br/> <br/>The result is a hybrid machete made of steel and stainless steel.<br/> <br/> It is especially useful in outdoor situations where a lot of firewood is used. It has a moderate weight, so that even a small amount of force is enough to firmly grip the firewood and split it comfortably.<br/> <br/> It can also be swung up and operated with one hand from a kneeling position.<br/> <br/> The handle is made of oak wood. The handle is specially made for the knife by the craftsmen who make the handles, so the grip and gentle feel are exceptional. <br/> <br/>This is a gem that combines traditional techniques with modern sensibilities.</p> <h3>Information</h3><table><tr><th>Manufacturer</th><td>Iwai Cutlery</td></tr><tr><th>Country of origin</th><td>Fukui Prefecture, Japan</td></tr><tr><th>Technique</th><td>Echizen Forged Blades</td></tr><tr><th>Material</th><td>Blade: Hitachi Aogami Steel + Stainless SteelHandle: Oak (burnished)</td></tr><tr><th>Size</th><td>Total Length: 11.42 , Blade Length: 6.1 , Blade thickness: 0.22 in.
