$236.00

Morihei is a knife and whetstone supplier based in Asakusabashi, Tokyo with over 100 years of history. At one point, more than 20 groups of blacksmiths and sharpeners worked under the name Morihei. Famously known for its extensive collection of whetstones and natural stones, the president Mr. Akimitsu Oguro is also an advisor for natural stone researchers from various universities and government groups. To this day, Morihei is one of the few remaining companies in Japan that has maintained the relationship between its blacksmiths and stonemakers for this long.

The Hisamoto Hagane is a very old school, vintage style of knife whose rustic appearance dates back to the Meiji era when Japan opened its borders to the world and began incorporating Western design into their tools. Due to its full carbon steel construction, the blade takes an edge very easily and will develop patina very quickly, but it is easy to restore when needed. SK4 steel is commonly used as a tool steel but when hand forged for kitchen knives, boasts excellent hardening properties and can take on a very fine edge with sharpening. These workhorse knives are excellent for people who want to try carbon steel without breaking the bank.

A slicer ('Sujiihki' in Japanese) is a valuable tool for skinning, trimming and/or portioning protein items (fillet of salmon or turkey breast). Depending on the length, professionals use it as a utility blade or use it during service on the line. For home cooks, a slicer is a great blade for those special times of the year where you want to get even slices without striations on your turkey breasts and other roasts.
