Moritaka has dedicated itself to the meticulous crafting of hand-forged blades for more than seven centuries. The amount of expertise, heritage, and wisdom passed down through the generations of Moritaka Hamono blacksmiths is remarkable and evident in the production of this medium-sized petty knife. With 50/50 convex grinds and a meticulously treated core of
Aogami Super steel, these kurouchi finished blades not only perform exceptionally well, but also represent exceptional value due to their handcrafted nature and use of premium materials in the Supreme series. Moritaka Hamono is based in Yatsushiro, Japan.
