All Choppn' Knives are hand sharpened using the traditional japanese technique known as the Honbazuke Method. This tradtional Japanese method gives every blade its incomparable sharpness. 

Every blade is sharpened and polished by hand in three stages in a complex process. The blade is first coarsely ground using a vertically rotating sharpening stone, followed by a fine honing using a horizontally rotating sharpening stone. The edge is then polished using a leather stropping block for scalpel-like sharpness.

The signature Hayami handle is made of multicolored stabilised wood. 

The process of stabilizing wood involves drying the wood to get rid of any moisture that it holds. The wood and a stabilizing agent are then placed in a chamber under a vacuum which removes any air from the pores of the wood and fills any voids. 

The stabilizing chemical used is a food safe epoxy resin and this is where the variety of colours come from as different dyes can be added. The process gives each piece of wood a different finish and this, combined with the woods graining, means that no two Choppn' Handles will ever be exactly the same. 

Choppn' offers a 1-year limited warranty on all knives purchased from our website. The warranty covers the repair or replacement of any defective material or component. In the rare case that we are unable to repair or replace the defective material or component, we will submit a refund. It does not cover any issues due to normal wear and tear, misuse or loss/theft of the knife.

Unlike the majority of kitchen knives available on the market, Japanese Chef's knives have a thin blade edge that is extremely sharp but fragile. Please use special care when you use them and never use them to cut or separate frozen food, or cut very hard ingredients.
