Chiba Forge Product/Service: Kitchenware, Cutlery, Hunting Knives, non-mechanical weaponry, refined ingots Founded: ~500 years (Modern Company: ~50 years) Based in: Ecruteak City, Johto Net Worth: ~$25mil Chairwoman/CEO: Tsukiyomi Chiba COO/CFO: Amaterasu Chiba Chief Metalurgist: Souji Chiba Majority Shareholders: The Chiba Family (100%) History: The Chiba Forge, located somewhere in the foothills around Ecruteak City, is said to have burned nonstop since it was first lit nearly 500 years ago. Founded by a Masamaru Chiba, chief weaponmaker to the daimyo of Ecruteak, the Chiba Forge has been in the family for generations, producing weaponized art in the form of hand forged steel. In the past 50 years, Chiba Forge has become synonymous less with weapons and more with cooking accessories. Hand crafted Chiba Knife Sets can cost anywhere from $80,000-$120,000 as they are tailored to the chef who uses them and rarely need sharpening. 5-star restaurants praise the way that Chiba cookware maintains even temperature and can withstand all kinds of punishment. Competitors believe the secret of the forge lies in the construction or metallurgy process which have been carefully guarded secrets. While these are essential, the true secret of the forge lies in the Chiba Family semblance; the ability to detect flaws in metal. Souji Chiba applies his semblance to the steel he works, beating impurities and flaws out until a single perfect piece emerges. A consummate perfectionist, he refuses to sell anything less than his best work and customers know that it is well worth waiting for a finished piece. Chiba Forge is associated with PRIDE who exerts its influence to ship knives and cutlery out of the country and to restaurants around the world. The most popular orders are cookware and cutlery but recently they have began to manufacture metal ingots that are woven into uncommonly strong alloys. And of course, Chiba Forge continues to produce weapons the likes of which made Ecruteak the ancestral capitol of the region. Even as times changed and more advanced weaponry became availible, Chiba Forge continued to produce bows, spears, axes, shields, and swords that contained no moving parts or hidden weaponry. While they are undoubtedly less versatile than their transforming competitors, they possesses a keen edge and strength that is hard for other weapons manufacturers to replicate. Some blades made nearly 300 years ago are still so sharp that the Ecruteak Cultural History Museum has refused to move the exhibit displaying Chiba weaponry after an incident in which a falling spear sliced a steward's arm clean off at the shoulder. Chiba weapons are something of a rare commodity these days as the murder of Souji Chiba's daughter by one of his own weapons has disheartened the old Lucario Faunus. Commissioning a weapon requires a one on one meeting with the Chiba family in their Ecruteak offices to determine whether or not they want their business. The qualities Souji Chiba looks for are uncertain but he has never sold to anyone who supports or has supported the Kantonese regime or Team Rocket. Rumors that whoever uses Chiba weaponry and is unworthy will be cursed with misfortune and grizzly death at the hands of the stolen weapon. Many in the area regard this superstition with reverence after the unfortunate story of the Team Rocket admin who pilfered a Chiba blade ended up disemboweled and floating in the river.
