Moritaka has dedicated itself to the meticulous crafting of hand-forged blades for more than seven centuries. The amount of expertise, heritage, and wisdom passed down through the generations of Moritaka Hamono blacksmiths is remarkable and evident in the production of this knife. While Moritaka labels it a yanagiba, connoisseurs recognize it as a sujihiki, showcasing a versatile double-bevel design. With 50/50 convex grinds and a meticulously treated core of Aogami Super steel, these kurouchi-finished blades not only perform exceptionally well, but also represent exceptional value due to their handcrafted nature and use of premium materials. Moritaka Hamono is based in Yatsushiro, Japan.
