The knife you will reach for more often than any other.
The Shizu Hamono Morinoki Utility Knife is a true all-rounder, designed for the everyday tasks that come up in almost every meal. Slim, graceful, and gentle in the hand, it brings a soft, natural character to the kitchen and the table.
The Blade
A gently curved, slender stainless steel blade handles a wide range of everyday cutting. At 170mm, it is longer than a petty knife and agile enough for daily prep, giving you one dependable knife for most small jobs.
Where It Shines
| Occasion | Best For | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday Prep | Vegetables, fruit, small ingredients | 170mm blade covers a wide range of daily tasks |
| Slicing | Bread, cheese, cold cuts | Slender, curved blade for smooth cuts |
| Light Trimming | Meat and fish | Fine blade for controlled work |
| At the Table | Serving and sharing food | Refined look, ready to bring to the table |
Craftsmanship
The square handle is made from solid zelkova (keyaki), a hardwood prized in Japan for its fine grain and durability. Its soft touch and visible wood grain give the knife a natural, warm look, and no two handles are exactly alike.
The Morinoki Series
Shizu Hamono was founded in 1980 in Seki, Gifu, Japan’s famous blade-making city. The Morinoki series was developed with input from the company’s female staff, and its design and packaging share the same gentle, warm character as the knife itself.
The Perfect Gift
Presented in charming wave-shaped packaging, this knife is ready to give. It makes a thoughtful gift for home cooks and anyone who enjoys a well-made everyday tool.
Care & Maintenance
- Hand wash only; not dishwasher safe
- Dry immediately after washing and avoid prolonged contact with water, as the handle is finished with a surface coating
