Product Description

Experience the centuries-old tradition of Japanese blade-craft with the Moritaka Hamono Blue Super Steel Kurouchi 300mm Yanagiba Slicer. Moritaka Hamono, a renowned brand with a history dating back to the 13th century, brings the art of samurai sword forging to your kitchen. This handcrafted kitchen knife is a testament to the brand's enduring quality and craftsmanship.

For those who appreciate the history and artistry of samurai swords, Moritaka Hamono offers a connection to that rich heritage. With over 725 years and 31 generations of experience in forging swords and now kitchen knives, Moritaka Hamono embodies the spirit of the samurai. The Blue Super Steel core delivers incredible sharpness and edge retention, while the distinctive kurouchi finish speaks to the brand's long history.

The Yanagiba Slicer, traditionally single bevel, is the knife you'll immediately notice when going to a sushi restaurant. At 300mm, you'll get a little more slicing power than the more conventional 270mm yanagibas you'll find around. Experience the blend of functionality and history with the Moritaka Hamono Blue Super Steel Kurouchi 300mm Yanagiba Slicer.
