Customer Reviews
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!
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.
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.
