I think they know what they’re doing by now. Five generations ago the family made the switch to producing only Hocho (kitchen knives). The knives made by the Moritaka family have a real classiness and beauty. This series of knives are known for its thinness which translates to fantastic sharpness. This finish is known as Ishime, Rock Surface, and was not used on kitchen knives before this series.

Accordion vegetables are still connected like a paper doll after you're “done” cutting them. To truly understand the awesomeness of a Nakiri we recommend making onion soup your first night with the knife.
