This tea knife hammered by Malaysian master craftsman Tan Kae Hyeok is a commissioned version of Xin An Chu.
 
Tan Kae Hyeok is a traditional seal carving artist and also forges seal carving knives. Being both a tea enthusiast and a master craftsman, he comprehends the essence of tea tools much deeper than common blacksmiths. Thanks to his talent for craftsmanship and creativity, and his passion for tea brewing, we are able to have this functional piece of art. 
 
After being constantly improved in both functionality and aesthetics, this excellent fourth generation of the design has been achieved. The flat shank gives comfortable and secure feel in the hand; together with the hardness of the material, the moderate thickness of the blade makes it easy to handle and hard enough to break any tea, even the most tightly compressed cakes; the wrapped spot at the lower end helps to stabilize, all these make it far superior than many tools you can find in the market.
