Experience the legacy of Moritaka Hamono, a brand that has been perfecting the art of blade-making since the 13th century and has passed down this expertise through five generations. The Moritaka Supreme series exemplifies this rich tradition, combining ancient craftsmanship with modern performance.
This 170mm Santoku features a core of Aogami Super steel, renowned for its ability to achieve a razor-sharp edge. The blade is meticulously forged with a soft iron cladding and finished with a stunning kurouchi treatment, which not only enhances its distinctive appearance but also provides protection against corrosion.
When you hold a Moritaka knife, you'll immediately notice its perfect balance—substantial yet agile in your hand. The compound convex grind allows for effortless ingredient separation, making every slice precise and satisfying. The star of this blade is its Aogami Super steel core, hardened to an impressive 65 HRC. This high-carbon steel offers exceptional edge retention and durability, allowing you to maintain a sharp, refined edge for longer.
To complete this masterpiece, the blade is paired with a custom octagonal handle made from 4,000-year-old Bog Oak, adding a touch of history and elegance to your culinary experience.
