Shizu Hamono operates out of Sanjo City, Japan, a city known for its long tradition of metalworking and blade production. The Morinoki line is their everyday kitchen tools collection, built around DSR-1K6 stainless steel and keyaki wood handles at prices that make them accessible for both home kitchens and professional environments.
This bread knife from the Morinoki line is built for clean, efficient slicing through bread and similar foods. The DSR-1K6 stainless steel at 58-59 HRC carries serrations that grip and cut cleanly through crust without compressing the crumb underneath. With a blade length of just under 238mm, it has real reach for full-sized loaves, and the keyaki wood western handle is comfortable through regular use. Note that serrations are ground for right-hand use.
Care Instructions: DSR-1K6 is a stainless steel, so day-to-day care is simple. Hand wash and dry after use. Avoid the dishwasher.Maker: Shizu Hamono
