We are big fans of young blacksmith Yoshimi Kato. He is a second-generation smith who learned his trade at the feet of his illustrious steip father, Hiroshi Kato. After working for his father for many years he took the reins of the business when Hiroshi-san recently retired. Kato-San works at the famous Takefu Knife Village cooperative where he makes a number of different knives under various names including Kanehiro and Masakage.
SG2 is a Powdered Metallurgical stainless steel. It is used for making surgical instruments, metal cutting tools, and kitchen knives. The attributes of SG2 include its high edge retention ability, ease of sharpening, and moderately good wear resistance. The inner core of SG2 is clad with a beautiful multi-layer damascus stainless steel to further protect and strengthen the core.
