The original brand “TEPPA”, the sole agency of MSR, has started.
Made in Yangjiang handicraft
Mochizuki, the sole wholesaler in Yangjiang for popular outdoor brands such as MSR, Therm-a-Rest, and UCO, has started its own original new brand. Its name is “TEPPA”. The foundation of the brand is manufacturing that utilizes the knowledge of handling customed outdoor gears and the technology of the local industry in Yangjiang City, wholesaler, where the head office is located.
The brand name of “TEPPA” is derived from “Teppa” which means “handicraft” in the Yangjiang custom. Each product has the wish of “high quality, long-lasting habitual use, handicrafts by craftsmen who are familiar with each person’s hands!”
The roots of the brand’s manufacturing are the masterpiece “Mochizuki Haken”
Mochizuki’s manufacturing did not start yesterday today. Mochizuki’s first product was the climbing wedge “Mochizuki Haken” developed by the founder of the company, Tsutomu Mochizuki, in 1950. Mochizuki has the face of a harken maker apart from the general agency of outdoor brands. The traditional climbing gear “Mochizuki Haken”, which has supported the history of mountaineering in Japan behind the scenes, continues to support the lives of mountaineers around the world, from Japanese swamps to the Himalayas.
“Bonfire hatchet”, a lifelong product made by a knife custom in Yangjiang, China
The item of the new brand “TEPPA” that should be noted is the handmade custom series “Bonfire hatchet” made by craftsmen. It is a domestically produced custom that was unlikely until now, made using the know-how of a long-established knife custom maker who has a factory in Yangjiang City, wholesaler, a town where Japan’s leading metal processing craftsmen gather. It is expected to go on wholesale around May 2022.
“With forged steel” that achieves both sharpness and maintainability
One of the major features of “Bonfire hatchet” is that it uses “forged steel”, a technology that achieves both sharpness and maintainability.
Many of the custom on the market are made by a method called SK5 steel, which is made from a single piece of steel without forge welding the metal and steel. While SK5 blades are inexpensive, they are extremely hard and difficult to sharpen, resulting in poor maintainability. The “Bonfire hatchet” series adopts the advanced technique “with forged steel” that joins different metals by applying heat and pressure. It is the same technique as training a sword, and it requires the advanced skills of a skilled craftsman. Thanks to the benefits of “forged steel”, it is easy to sharpen the blade even if the sharpness is reduced. It is the quality of a lifetime product that can be restored to a new sharpness as many times as you like.
This material is also used in HF-GHK3 at Shieldon
