Craftsmanship Beyond Mass Production — Honest and Unchanging
Asakusabashi, one of Tokyo’s historic wholesale districts, still carries a strong legacy of artisan culture. Founded in 1933, Morihei has continued to work closely with blades and whetstones, earning deep trust from professional chefs and craftsmen alike.
Morihei’s original knives, created by the fourth-generation owner Akimitsu Oguro, represent the pursuit of “the one knife you truly want.” Drawing on decades of experience and knowledge, he refined every detail to achieve the ideal form.
Above all, the defining feature is Morihei’s unique hand-sharpened finish. Although many knives today are labeled “sharpened,” most rely heavily on machine polishing. In contrast, Morihei uses techniques cultivated over 90 years as a whetstone specialist, carefully sharpening each blade by hand with whetstones.
The blade enters ingredients effortlessly, the cut surfaces remain beautifully smooth, and the natural umami and aroma stay intact. With every slice, the true character of the ingredient is brought to life — that is the power of hand sharpening.
Crafted with sincerity, reaching a level no mass-production process can achieve.
These knives quietly elevate your daily cooking through the enduring skill of true artisans.
