Sale price€462,95 EUR

Yoshimi Kato is a highly respected blacksmith from Echizen, Japan. After being apprenticed to his father-in-law, Hiroshi Kato, who also trained blacksmiths such as Yu Kurosaki, he now stands at the helm of the forge, which is part of the iconic Takefu Knife Village.

Yoshimi-san is known for hardening steel exceptionally well, and for his exceptionally beautiful knives, especially his damask cladding, which we think is some of the absolute best you can find.

This gyoto measures 210mm and has the stainless alloy VG-10 as the core steel. The core is then covered with Kato-san's really beautiful and complex Damascus cladding. A truly beautiful piece of craftsmanship.
