Most bread knives are built for right-handed use. The Shizu Morinoki left-handed version corrects this directly, with serrations ground for left-hand use that produce the same clean, controlled slicing action the right-handed version delivers for southpaw cooks. This is a relatively rare and genuinely useful find - a quality left-handed bread knife at an accessible price from a real Japanese manufacturer.
Built by Shizu Hamono in Sanjo City from DSR-1K6 stainless steel, laser cut and heat-treated to 60 HRC - slightly harder than the right-handed version - this is a well-made, dedicated left-handed tool rather than a standard knife marketed to left-handers after the fact.
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
