Introducing

Yoshimi Kato

Working out of Takefu Knife Village in Echizen, Japan, Yoshimi Kato is one of the region’s most respected blacksmiths. After taking over his father’s workshop in 2017, Kato-san has continued to forge knives that deliver exceptional performance, refinement, and value — earning him a loyal following among chefs and collectors around the world.

Under his personal brand Kintaro, he hand-forges blades featuring some of the most striking Damascus patterns we’ve seen, with crisp lines and elegant finishes. His knives are lightweight, thin behind the edge, and a pleasure to sharpen and maintain — a combination that makes them equally suited to professional kitchens and passionate home cooks.

Yoshimi Kato’s work reflects the best of Echizen craftsmanship: thoughtful design, reliable performance, and beauty in every detail.
