We’re pleased to introduce Yoshimi Kato SG2/R2 Damascus Knives with Blue Stabilized Hybrid Wood Handle.



This series features beautiful Damascus-patterned blades with very hard R2 core, which provides excellent rust resistance and a long-lasting edge.

The handles on these knives are Octagonal Stabilized Hybrid Wood that recalls the images of Japanese tradition.

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!
