 Yoshimi Kato is the son-in-law of Hiroshi Kato a founding member of the '' Takefu Knife Village ''. It was behind several lines of knives including the most famous, the Masakage. Now the torch has passed to Yoshimi-san. He first apprenticed at Kanehiro Hamono and then was apprenticed under the guidance of Hiroshi-san, who also taught incredible blacksmiths like Yu Kurosaki. The transition was very smooth. He strives to continuously improve his skills day by day. He now forges under his own banner and the result speaks for itself!
