About Kato Yoshimi 加藤 義実

Yoshimi Kato (aka. Yoshimi Katou) is a renowned blacksmith in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, and the 3rd generation Kato. Head of Kato Uchihamono, formerly known as Kintaro, Mr. Kato has apprenticed under his father - 2nd generation blacksmith - Hiroshi Kato for many years before taking over the family business. Mr. Kato is a master of heat-treating high-end steels such as SG2 and Aogami Super. His hand-forged Damascus is mesmerizing and his tsuchime finish aesthetically pleasing. Kato knives have a great reputation for being the finest example of Echizen craftsmanship.

Care:

Wash and dry with a soft sponge, and safely store after use. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Great scent, great lotion!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This has become my favorite lotion! It smells great and makes my skin feel soft. I have it a 4 because 2 of the bottles cane with the top snapped into place and when it was time for me to finish the remaining lotion, I wasn't able to open the top! I had tried various ways to get the top off but couldn't. Thank God I asked a male relative to get it off and he was able to unlock both! Otherwise I would've wasted some money because the 3 to 4 more applications would've been tossed in the trash.
