We’re pleased to introduce Yoshimi Kato VG10 Damascus Knives with Octagonal Rosewood & Red Wood Ferrule Handle for beauty and durability.
In addition, his kengata (or Kiritsuke) type blade is more attractive than others because of the uniquely keen stylish shape.



This series features beautiful 63 layer Damascus-patterned blades with popular VG10 core, which provides excellent rust resistance and a long-lasting edge.

Mr. Yoshimi Kato, one of the most promising blacksmiths, received the certification of the traditional craftsmen on February 2008 and took over his father’s company as KATO UCHI HAMONO (KATO Knife Manufacturing Inc.) at Takefu city, Fukui.


If you have any question, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Thank you for reading and best regards!
