People like to rag on Moritakas for not being the absolute “laseriest” knife out there but there is so much good with this knife.
First the food release is amazing, second it feels amazing to use and hold, third it gets extremely sharp and has not needed to be resharpened at all since I first touched it up. Can’t recommend moritaka enough to people who are looking to get into Japanese knives and want a reliable performer that holds its edge extremely well while not being overly unforgiving.
This knife far exceeded my expectations.
Love the 240mm Moritaka. Outstanding quality. And it makes prep work that much easier. Best part? It stays razor sharp!
The packaging and the knife have arrived in good condition, everything as expected, thank you
A true artisan crafted blade. Aogami super is just an incredible steel. It sharpens easily to a crisp edge with Naniwa pro stones.

This is a good knife. It’s attractive and well made. Some days I’d say I love it but in a commercial setting the full carbon requires a little too much maintenance and for some reason I can’t get it to stay super sharp. Some of my stainless knives are more reliable on tomatoes. I expected better sharpness and edge retention from aogami super steel but I’ll admit my own fault. eventually I’ll get better at sharpening and maintaining it and I’ll figure out how to make it patina instead of rust.
