Ogata san is one of the many knife makers of the Takefu Knife Village cooperative factory in Echizen Japan. He's a master smith with excellent skills and his knives have a reputation of high cutting performance. This line features SG2 stainless steel that takes an outstanding edge and holds it well. Because the knives have steep edges we recommend care when cutting and do not cut hard items like bones or frozen food or stalks and other hard items or else you can chip the knife. If you treat it with care you'll be rewarded with a knife that will cut effortlessly.
