Nakiri with a 15 cm blade in three layers with a core of aogami-super (blue-super)

Moritaka in Kumamoto is one of the world's oldest knifemakers, whose knives have become iconic and very easily recognizable by their rustic design, characterized by the clearly hand-forged blade with a dark kurouchi surface.

The nakiri is a distinctive vegetable chopper that requires a special cutting technique to be used optimally. The blade is very "straight", and does not have the classic curve found on, for example, santoku and chef's knives.

The handle is made of walnut wood and is octagonal in the classic WA shape.

You should be aware that Moritaka knives rust very easily. They are designed to do so, so you should expect that. Maintenance is therefore extremely important, and you should, for example, always rinse the blade of your knife immediately after cutting with it.

The core steel is, as mentioned, aogami-super. Aogami is the category of so-called blue steel, and "Super" is the hardest of these alloys. For the same reason, it is not a knife that you should take chances with by cutting into excessively hard objects. Bones, cartilage, frozen objects, etc. are of course forbidden.

If, on the other hand, you are willing to take care of your knife, then Moritaka is definitely one of the most fun and certainly most personal things you can get close to.
