Yoshimi Kato
Yoshimi Kato works out of the Takefu Knife Village and took over the Family business from his father in 2013. His Father Hiroshi Kato-san started the shop in the late 1960's and was inaugurated as the 4th Chairman of the Takefu Knife village in 1994. Making incredible knives runs in the family obviously and we're very excited to have these incredibly sharp knives in our shop. They have one of the most beautiful damascus patterns we have ever seen and are sharpened by famous knife sharpener Makoto Kurosaki; brother of one of our favorite knifemakers Yu Kurosaki.
Takefu Knife Village
The Takefu Knife Village is a cooperative workshop in the Echizen region of Japan. It is the home to a long list of blacksmiths that we work with and many young and upcoming apprentices learning the trade. The area has a 700 year long history of smithing with roots in agricultural tools turned cutlery powerhouse.
The Knife
This knife is thick at the spine and has a great profile for long sweeping cuts through proteins. The high swept tip thins nicely for getting in close to bones but we wouldn't recommend trying to stick this is any joints like you could with a honesuki. Really fun knife to add to the kit, we don't come across many knives like this so don't spend too long thinking on it!
