Si Yu’us Ma’åse. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The support for Blades By Crank has been unreal. From Guam, Saipan, Rota, Tinian, and even all our people stateside and overseas — you’ve been showing so much love. And now, I want to give back in a big way.
So here’s what I’m doing:
Starting this month, I’m giving away a FREE knife every single month.
That’s right — one lucky person will win a premium Blades By Crank blade, no strings attached.
The first giveaway is my brand new Japanese VG10 Gyuto Chef Knife, worth $220 — and it hasn’t even been released yet. 🔥 (this is my go to knife as we speak)
If youre getting this email, youre on the list and you are eligible to win a FREE KNIFE monthly.
All you gotta do is drop your email at BladesByCrank.com, and you’ll be entered to win.
Plus, you get 10% off your first order, early access to new drops, VIP deals, and maybe even a surprise gift in your next box.
This is my way of saying thank you and keeping the circle of giving strong.
Why This Means So Much
Knives aren’t just tools. For me, they’re about family, food, and the Marianas culture.
Growing up, the real magic didn’t just happen when the food hit the table. It started before that — when we were all in the kitchen or the back yard, prepping together.
It was dad cleaning fish.
It was mom slicing onions and telling jokes.
It was auntie pounding garlic with her special “secret” mix.
It was grandma checking the pot every five minutes.
It was grandpa cutting meat like a boss with that old blade that’s older than you.
That’s where the real lessons were taught.
Not from a book. Not from school. But right there with family. While prepping. While chopping. While getting things ready for something special.
Those are the golden nuggets I remember most.
And that’s what I want to keep alive with Blades By Crank.
It’s Not Just a Knife — It’s a Legacy
Every blade I make is inspired by the island.
By our roots. By our stories.
And now, I want to put these blades into the hands of people who will use them the same way — with love, with pride, and with purpose.
So yeah, I’m hyped about this.
I’m giving away a free knife every month, and I hope one of them ends up in your hands. Whether you’re cooking for your family, prepping for fiesta, or just making lunch — I want that blade to be part of your story too.
Join the Blades By Crank Familia today.
Let’s keep the culture strong. Let’s keep the food fire.
And most of all — let’s keep it shinarp.
