Moritaka Knives Aogami Super Sujihiki 270mm

Are you still after that samurai dream and want a Japanese kitchen knife that has everything you need, and leaves out everything you don't? Try out a Moritaka Hamono and see why they have been in business for so long.

Some people need to believe that the smith who forged their Japanese kitchen knife also forged samurai swords way back when, in order to conjure that fantasy we are all after of wanting to be a samurai. Well, Moritaka Hamono is about as close as it gets to that fantasy, having forged swords, now kitchen knives on the islands of Okinawa for the last ~725 years and 31 generations of experience.

About the knife: This knife features a core steel of Aogami Super (Blue Super Steel), known for its incredible sharpness and edge retention, wrapped in a distinguishable kurouchi finish. Perhaps the 700 years of history behind Moritaka-san's craftsmanship plays a role in its unique quality.

A 270mm sujihiki, literally translating to "flesh slicer," is the perfect length for those preferring a longer blade. If you're accustomed to using a blade of 240mm and up, you'll find this sujihiki indispensable when it comes time to carve meat.
