Yoshimi Kato R2 Black Damascus Chef Knives with Unique Red-Ring Ebony Handle

Yoshimi Kato SG2/R2 Damascus Series with Red-Ring Ebony Handle is first sold by this Hocho-Knife store.
You may hear many red-ring plus rose-wood handles, but the combination of red ring plus ebony is quite unique.



This series features beautiful Damascus-patterned blades with very hard R2 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.
