Yoshimi Kato is one of the most famous modern Japanese blacksmiths who makes kitchen knives. He works in the Takefu Knife Village workshop, a famous center of traditional knifemaking, where craftsmen from several generations work. Yoshimi Kato began his career under the guidance of his father-in-law, the legendary blacksmith Hiroshi Kato, and inherited his workshop, continuing the family business. For more than 20 years, he has been making knives on his own and is one of the best modern Japanese blacksmiths.
Yoshimi Kato works with both classic carbon steel and modern powder steels, including VG-10, R2 (SG2), Aogami Super and others. Many of his knives are created using sanmai technology, where a harder cutting part is enclosed in softer linings - most often made of Damascus. Yoshimi Kato mainly makes knives with double-bevel: santoku, nakiri, Japanese chef's knives gyuto. Master Kato installs both Japanese wa- and western handles on his knives. All Yoshimi Kato knives are supplied in branded boxes.
