The Story
About the Shape - A utility knife is all about just that: utility. This little knife is awesome because it still gives you knuckle clearance on the cutting board, so you can mince garlic and comfortably chop veggies. Despite its size, it can still be used comfortably in the hand for many folks, making it a great multi-purpose knife for smaller meals and line-cooks.
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.
