MORINOKI GRAND KNIFE

"Morinoki" knife by the Japanese manufacturer Shizu Hamono based in Seki, one of the cities most renowned for its blade production for over 750 years. The Morinoki collection combines the craftsmanship of artisans with a sleek and refined design that highlights the beauty of wood. 

"It is a form that prioritizes simplicity."
The handle uses solid zelkova. We created a natural impression by emphasizing refreshing colors that take advantage of the wood grain and its soft texture.

The handles of Morinoki are made of natural wood, so you can enjoy the appearance of each type of wood. Each piece has a different grain and color, making it unique.

History of SEKI knives

The knives of SEKI are special because they follow the traces of the first craftsman 780 years ago. The master blacksmith Hiroshige moved to Seki from Kyushu and began making swords. The blacksmiths of Seki and the city of Seki honor Hiroshige as the founder of the Seki sword forge, and the city of Seki also holds the 供養祭り (Kuyo-matsuri - memorial festival -) every year on November 8.
Seki produced many expert sculptors such as Kanemoto Magoroku (孫六兼元) and Kanesada Izumimori (和泉守兼定).
