It’s a cross between a mega-sized bunka and a Chinese cleaver. All Tank knives are hand hammered by Ikeda-san and are named after him. Ikeda-san is a tank of a man who plays rugby after his days in the forge. I’ve often called him the strongest man in Japan. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUsing Aogami Super steel clad with stainless steel cladding, Tank strikes a great balance between high performance and low maintenance. The blade is left black, as a home forging blacksmith tinkerer might do, but spine and choil are mirror polished to add some refinement.

He enjoys exploring fun ideas and has experience making them a reality—as seen by the success of his previous ventures Masakage Knives and Kotetsu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eShibata-san loves the name Tinker in the way that it means to make something in an amateurish or rustic fashion. He wants the knives to look like this—but with a certain grace as well. This is his brand for fun experiments, for tinkering. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTinker will not make entire lines of knives but individual knives in new\/experimental shapes previously unexplored. All of the knives will be limited edition. In the last 7 months, they have made only 25 knives in three batches (10, 8 and 7 knives). He plans to make a few knives every month moving forward. They will always be hand-hammered, hand-finished, and hand sharpened like his other brands -\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/collections\/shibata-tinker\"\u003eRead more.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shibata Tinker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43071055462574,"sku":"STMT135CL","price":428.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/products\/chibi-tank-1.jpg?v=1759451647","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-de\/products\/shibata-tinker-mini-tank","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
