Ogata Knives

Syungo Ogata spent seven years apprenticing under Shiro Kamo — one of the most sought-after blacksmiths we carry — at Takefu Knife Village in Echizen before striking out on his own. Mark met him during a visit to Takefu Village earlier this year and knew immediately these belonged on the site. These are spring hammer-forged blades from one of the most talented young blacksmiths working in Japan today, and Chef Knives To Go is proud to introduce his work to the American market.
