This beautiful knife was hand-forged by Yoshimi Kato, son-in-law of Hiroshi Kato. He was an apprentice to Kanehiro and Hiroshi-San, so he learned forging from the best. In addition to the knives he makes for Masakage, he also has his own series.

This knife is forged from vg10 steel with multiple layers of damask and then machined with a square hammer for a unique pattern. The octagon handle is made of Honduras Rosewood with a head of black pakka wood.

  • Hand-forged VG-10 steel
  • 61 HRC Rockwell
  • Laser (thin blade)
  • Runs from thick to thin (distal taper)
