Based in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto, this legendary workshop began by forging samurai katanas and has since evolved into crafting high-performance Japanese kitchen knives with a deeply traditional, rustic character. Now led by the 27th generation of the Moritaka family, every knife is still hand-forged using premium Aogami #2 (Blue Steel) or Aogami Super steel. Moritaka knives are instantly recognizable for their dark kurouchi finish, a raw, time-honored look that reflects centuries of skill, heritage, and uncompromising craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"moritaka-as-petty-150mm","title":"Moritaka AS Petty 150mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoritaka Hamono was founded in 1293 by Kongohyoe Minamoto no Moritaka, who was the head swordsmith for Buddhist priests at Mt.
