About Shizu Morinoki -Shizu Hamono is a relatively “new” knife maker, established in 1959 in Seki by Masami Horibe, he grew in Seki city, the city of blacksmiths, and naturally became a craftsman. Their Morinoki line sports a clean, rustic aesthetic that we love. They fit right into a modern kitchen, and the line is perfect for cooks of any skill level that want a reliable knife that doesn't have to be babied. The stainless steel takes a great edge but doesn't chip easily, and the zelkova handle is simple and elegant.
