MORINOKI BREAD KNIFE

"Morinoki" bread knife by the Japanese maker Shizu Hamono based in Seki, one of the most renowned towns for blade making for over 750 years. The Morinoki collection combines the artisans' skill with a simple and refined design that highlights the beauty of the wood.

The blade is made of 2 parts: the serrations on the 6 cm tip are closer together to cut through the hardest parts (crust, heel). This allows you to get beautiful thin slices regardless of the type of bread.

The town of Seki

The pure NAGARA river flows nearby – this old town is an hour’s drive from the city of Nagoya. The town of Seki is home to many craftsmen, each with different specialties such as the famous UKAI and KNIVES.

History of SEKI knives

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