At Sharp Supply, we’re proud to carry the work of Yoshimi Kato, one of Takefu Knife Village’s most respected bladesmiths. Trained by his father-in-law, master blacksmith Hiroshi Kato, Yoshimi blends centuries-old Echizen forging tradition with a modern, performance-driven approach.
Kato’s knives are known for their precision heat treatment, sleek, laser-thin grinds, and beautiful Damascus finishes. Working with steels like SG2/R2, Aogami Super, and VG-10, he creates blades that hit the sweet spot between sharpness, durability, and everyday usability.
If you’re chasing a knife that delivers pro-level performance with real Japanese craftsmanship behind it, Yoshimi Kato is the kind of maker you buy once and use for life.
