Chopper King Son of Orca K5 Fish Knife
Chopper King of Taiwan is a small, family-run workshop producing distinctive knives with tons of character—and we’re proud to be their first U.S. dealer here at CKTG. The "Son of Orca" Funayuki is forged from K5 carbon steel, prized for its razor-sharp edge, stability, and easy touch-up maintenance. This versatile slicer brings personality and performance to everyday prep tasks.
Originally designed for restaurant use, particularly for breaking down fish, these knives are favored by pros who appreciate blades that sharpen easily and perform reliably. With its rustic style, handcrafted feel, and limited production, the Son of Orca is a great choice for cooks looking for something beyond the typical factory-made fare.

I have countless premium knives and always buy something new to try and satisfy desire. This knife completely blew me off since the moment I got it in my hands. I put aside all other knives and I can not express my admiration. It is so well balanced that the pinch grip is exactly where it supposed to be. It has welded stainless steel tang so you can forgot about rust in handle. Before knife arrived I was planned to replace handle but on this knife everything is so perfect that there is no need to anything change. I used sand paper and Antirost (rust remover and corrosion blocker. Chemical composition: phosphoric acid, water, additives) which I bought in Europe to remove black protective blacksmith finish and to force patina. Sharpen it well, shorten CKTG Black Felt Knife Guard 10.5" to fit perfectly and I enjoy using this incredible knife. I use it for slicing, rocking, dicing, push cut, chopping... I wish there is an option to post a picture with a review so I can bring closer what value lays beyond $40. Edge is not skinny but also is much thinner then 70% knives I own. Steel is easy to sharpen and holds edge decently. Buy this amazing deal while is still in stock and you will thanks me later. This is my first review and I am not sure how long time it will pass to buy another knife which will leave me speechless as this one
