Try out a Moritaka Hamono and see why they have been in business for so long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the knife: this knife has a core steel of Aogami Super (Blue Super Steel) which delivers incredible sharpness and edge retention wrapped in a kurouchi finish. Moritaka-san's kurouchi finish is, in our opinion, one of the more distinguishable ones around. Maybe that 700 years of history has something to do with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere exist the three staple knives of Japanese cuisine (deba, yanagiba, usuba), and then there's the kiritsuke. Often portrayed as \"the master of all knives\" and traditionally single bevel though this one is double bevel, it was believed that only one person per professional kitchen could utilize this knife, the master. A knife which when in the hands of a skilled user, one could easily use to mince garlic or oblique cut scallions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 240mm and a very functional k-tip, this knife is as versatile as you allow it to be. From julienning spring onions to slicing your roast, a kiritsuke's beauty lies in the hands of the beholder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFor the best out of the box experience we recommend adding on our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tokushuknife.com\/products\/knife-sharpening-service\" title=\"Knife Sharpening Service by Tokushu Knife\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esharpening service.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFor up to 12 months of edge retention use with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tokushuknife.com\/collections\/hasegawa-cutting-board\" title=\"Hasegawa Cutting Board\"\u003eHasegawa Cutting Board\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moritaka Hamono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warikomi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCladding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kurouchi Finished Iron Cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aogami Super Steel (Blue Super)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 390mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpine at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpine Mid Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kurouchi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut Octagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Moritaka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49248486883585,"sku":"SK-240","price":269.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/7687\/5777\/files\/moritaka-aogami-super-kiritsuke-240mm-01.jpg?v=1791818288","url":"https:\/\/tokushuknife.eu\/nl-nl\/products\/moritaka-hamono-240mm-as-kiritsuke","provider":"Tokushu Knife Malta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
