“Thoughtful,” “Built to Last,” and “A Conversation Starter.”
CHACCARD condenses these three qualities into a single, card-sized tool. It slips neatly into a wallet or card case and is ready exactly when you need it. Each piece is hand-finished in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture—a town renowned for blades and cutlery. The precise “fit and alignment” techniques refined through the making of professional precision tools deliver a solid, reliable feel even in a card-shaped form.
What stands out first is how much it can do despite its size. CHACCARD features a saw capable of cutting small branches, a plane for shaving wood to create tinder, a flint and striker for spark ignition, and a jute cutter for ropes and cable ties. It’s useful for year-end and New Year outdoor activities, as well as for emergency preparedness. The saw component is made in Tsubame-Sanjo, a manufacturing hub with over a century of blade-making expertise. One swing right out of the package is enough to feel the difference in sharpness.
Two variations are available.
The standard version includes a bottle opener—perfect for everyday use and sure to casually spark conversation at home parties or drinks with friends. The other option is Indigo Metal, where metal is dyed with natural indigo. This unique material combines Tokushima indigo with Seki blade craftsmanship and comes in three patterns: Flame (HONOO), Fireworks (HANABI), and Hammered (TSUCHIME). Each piece has a one-of-a-kind appearance, reflecting the individuality of its owner. In addition to its strength as a tool, it includes a flathead screwdriver for added practicality. Even the simple act of taking it out of your pocket feels stylish, giving it a special presence worthy of a gift.
CHACCARD began as a crowdfunding project that achieved 1,020% of its target. Behind it lies the hands of Seki artisans and development expertise that connects regional craftsmanship. From the reinforced resin case and hardened carbon tool steel blade to the highly corrosion-resistant striker, material choices are uncompromising. Lightweight, durable, and easy to handle, it’s designed so carrying it never feels like a burden.
Because it’s something you can use every day, it makes an ideal gift.
The reason for giving doesn’t end with Christmas. After the New Year come birthdays, new jobs or school enrollments, fresh starts, Valentine’s Day, White Day, Father’s Day, Respect-for-the-Aged Day, housewarmings, and promotions. CHACCARD transcends seasons and age groups because it’s something people actually use. For minimalists, it’s a “second toolbox.” For outdoor enthusiasts, it’s the reassurance of handling everything from fire-starting to branch cutting with one card. For those focused on disaster preparedness, it’s thin enough to keep in a pouch or car. As a business gift, it’s light, refined, and sparks conversation—naturally conveying the giver’s good taste.
One tip for presentation.
Slip it into a card-sized sleeve or envelope and include a small note with a usage hint: “for trimming branches,” “for making tinder,” “for starting a fire outdoors.” Just picturing a use case increases how often it’s used from the very next day. The standard version shines immediately at year-end gatherings, while Indigo Metal adds a sense of occasion and uniqueness for anniversaries and milestones.
A small tool that neatly solves everyday “little problems.” The reassurance it brings grows from a moment of surprise into lasting appreciation each time it’s used. For today’s surprise and the year ahead, choose CHACCARD—the reliable companion that fits in your pocket. Select either the standard version or Indigo Metal to match the recipient’s lifestyle.
