For Chef Masaharu Morimoto, “cutting boards and knives are sacred.” As a cook, I have been impressed with the importance of cleavers and knives, but never on the level as this Japanese chef.

When I first met Morimoto two years ago, he was on a book tour, traveling to Boston. The airline had somehow misplaced his luggage with his magical knives inside. He couldn’t eat or sleep until they were found. Soon, apparently, you will be able to buy knives like the ones he uses through the website, www.chefmorimoto.com.

According to Morimoto, his knives are superior to most commercially available knives. He feels as though they are an extension of his arm. Just as a samurai warrior feels passion and reverence for his sword, as you can see in the video, Morimoto has similar feelings for his knives.

Enjoy!
